At the top of today's show, Maggie is honored to welcome Peter Barca, a Democrat running for Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District.

After her discussion with Secretary Barca, Maggie delves into The Big Lie 2.0. MAGA operatives have been preparing to declare victory before votes are even counted, and it's only becoming more brazen. Fake polling data showing Trump ahead of Harris by 16 points is making the rounds, sowing further distrust in the system.
