Trump's Blueprint to Rig the Midterms is Already in Motion8 sep39 min

<p>[11:35 AM]Less than two months before Election Day, Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias lays out Donald Trump&#39;s blueprint to rig the 2026 midterms. An executive order could put the U.S. Postal Service in charge of deciding whether mail-in ballots get delivered at all. The Department of Justice has lost 23 straight lawsuits trying to seize state voter data. A rule change could disenfranchise thousands of voters over a single mismatched name, and a Postal Service slowdown is already increasing ballot rejection rates in this year&#39;s primaries. DOJ&#39;s seizure of ballots in Fulton County and Maricopa County looks less like an isolated fight over 2020 and more like a dry run for something bigger. Federal law enforcement at the polls is no longer an abstract threat.</p>
