LEAKED: Trump's Executive Order to RIG the 2026 Election

LEAKED: Trump's Executive Order to RIG the 2026 Election

Marc Elias breaks down the bombshell Washington Post report detailing how anti-voting activists are crafting an emergency executive order allowing Donald Trump to take unprecedented control over elections — all on the basis of a conspiracy theory that China interfered in the 2020 election


He explores the specifics of the leaked "National Emergency" Executive Order, how this move would allow him to seize control of voting machines and ballot data, and what pro-democracy lawyers are doing right now to prepare for this constitutional crisis.
