Legal Expert Breaks Down Trump’s Plan to UPEND the Midterm Elections
Summary
Mark Elias discusses the Trump administration's efforts to undermine midterms, including illegal proposals for federal troops at polls and the Supreme Court's approval of the flawed SAVE database for voter rolls. He explains how these actions risk disenfranchising lawful citizens and details legal strategies to challenge them. The conversation also covers the administration's attempts to use the Postal Service to hold ballots and the potential for a national voter ID law to actually expand access if designed properly.
