KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

How Are High Plains States Responding to Trump’s Request for Voter Info?

High Plains residents may be wondering if their states plan to turn over private voting information to President Trump’s controversial commission to investigate supposed voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election.

The commission is already off to a rocky start.

The President has asked all fifty states to hand over a wide range of voting data, and the request has been met with responses ranging from acceptance to skepticism to outrage.

At least 25 states have refused on some level to turn over the requested info.

Texas, for example,will only hand over information that’s considered public under Texas law, as reported in The Texas Tribune.

Colorado will only partially complywith the request, while withholding information like social security numbers and dates of birth.

Oklahoma, too,will not release social security information.

Even Kansas isn’t fully complying, despite the fact that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the vice-chair of the President’s commission.
