About this episode

Marc Elias discusses Donald Trump's attempts to undermine voting rights ahead of the 2026 elections.

Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the three fronts of Donald Trump's war on voting: restricting voter registration through proof-of-citizenship laws and a national voter database, controlling who gets to use mail-in voting by weaponizing the U.S. Postal Service and laying the groundwork for another "stop the count" campaign.
