State Rep. Angie Nixon joins pastors and organizers in front of Jacksonville City Hall to call out election supervisor Mike Hogan over the reduction of early voting sites.

Early voting ended Sunday for this week’s special election to fill the seat on Jacksonville’s City Council vacated by the late Tommy Hazouri. Four candidates are on the ballot — two Democrats and two Republicans, encouraging more people to turn out for tomorrow’s election.

Amidst the bipartisan calls for more voters, local leaders accuse the city of voter suppression.
