BREAKING: Trump Orders DOJ to Block Election Certification ONLY if Democrat Wins

The Trump administration just sued to block election results in Alaska, and Trump says he ordered it himself: “I’m the one that said ‘do it.’” Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias goes live to break down what DOJ is doing and why the timing matters. In Alaska, DOJ wants to stop the state from certifying its Senate race if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses, even though the state’s courts settled the issue months ago. In California, DOJ is trying to hold back 20,000 ballots using a list that keeps falling apart. Democrats have sued to stop the administration’s threats against election officials, and today they asked the court to make DOJ name the states it plans to target next. Plus: a judge reins in DHS voter intimidation, North Carolina’s mail ballot rejections keep rising and the Supreme Court allows New Hampshire’s student ID ban.
