Trump's Argument for Blocking Your Ballot Is Absolutely Absurd
About this episode
Marc Elias discusses the legal challenges surrounding mail-in voting and Donald Trump's attempts to block ballots.
With just over 60 days until the midterms, Donald Trump is still trying to weaponize the U.S. Postal Service against mail-in voters. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the legal fight playing out in federal courts in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., including a temporary restraining order that's now being appealed. He also reads directly from the Department of Justice's own court filings, in which lawyers compare mail-in ballots to overweight packages, cremated remains and fake bombs to justify blocking them.
