Can Trump steal the midterms? | America, Actually

Описание: Between the Trump administration’s executive orders, lawsuits, and relentless rhetoric, it can feel as though America’s voting systems are under constant threat. Just this week, President Trump said he asked the Justice Department to sue Alaska to block certification of the state’s Senate race if the Republican candidate loses. But beyond these headlines, what’s actually happening to your vote?

This week on America, Actually, Vox’s Astead Herndon sits down with Eliza Sweren-Becker, the deputy director of the Voting Rights and Elections Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, for a reality check on election security. Despite high-profile threats, Donald Trump is currently on a losing streak in court, and election advocates are racking up major wins.
