About this episode

Marc Elias discusses a federal judge's ruling against Trump's executive order affecting mail-in voting.

A federal judge in Massachusetts just blocked Trump's executive order that would have let him use the Post Office to control who can vote by mail. This is a massive win for democracy — and it's not the only one. In this video, Marc Elias breaks down three major court victories against Trump's effort to restrict voting, collect your sensitive voter data and undermine mail-in ballots before 2026.
