S2E05 - Elections Under Federal Pressure
In this episode, we look at a significant clash between federal authority and state sovereignty regarding election administration, primarily focusing on a sweeping executive order and the Justice Department's demands for voter data.
We highlight how a federal judge blocked key provisions of the executive order, such as requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and banning the counting of mail ballots arriving after Election Day, citing their likely unlawfulness and unconstitutionality.
Finally, we tie this all back to the broader trend towards democratic backsliding that we observe today.
