2) Robert Weiner, Director of the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, discusses President Trump's termination of two members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and forced the resignation of the remaining Republican commissioner. He'll examine how this latest action fits in with President Trump's recent televised speech repeating conspiracy theories about foreign interference in U.S. elections, issuing voter suppression executive orders, demanding states turn over sensitive voting data, launching DOJ investigations, and proposed “SAVE America Act” legislation that together threaten the integrity of the November 2026 midterm election, in what many believe reveals the president's intention to interfere with, and/or manipulate the outcome of the midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
