On today’s edition of Winn Tucson, host Kathleen Winn welcomed Neal Cornett, Director of State Litigation for the Oversight Project, to discuss pressing issues surrounding Arizona's newly adopted 2025 Elections Procedures Manual (EPM). The conversation centered on a letter sent by the Oversight Project and the Pima County Republican Party to Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Attorney General Kris Mayes, demanding they disavow or clarify certain provisions that the groups argue infringe on First Amendment rights and invite potential abuse.

Winn and guest Dave Smith critiqued recent comments by Rep. Adelita Grijalva following her visit to an ICE detention facility in Eloy. Grijalva described meeting elderly detainees, including a 79-year-old Cuban asylum seeker with advancing dementia and a Phoenix resident with leukemia.
