Who Controls the Ballot Box? The Fight for Federal Control Join ProPublica to learn how the Trump administration has dismantled guardrails meant to protect the vote and what it all means for the midterm elections. Oct 27 4:00pm–5:00pm EDT https://events.propublica.org/voting-guardrails/homepage?_gl=1*12t6a2a*_ga*NDE2MjE5OTY2LjE3OTAwNzU3NjI.*_ga_K9RW8M6GL5*czE3OTIwNjQ4MTckbzE0JGcxJHQxNzkyMDY1MzE5JGo0MCRsMCRoMA.. Reporters on our election team dug into the origins of Trump’s plan to sharply restrict mail-in voting, a push that could have caused chaos in the midterms had the Supreme Court not blocked it. The reporters found that the White House had initially suggested even more disruptive ideas and left top Postal Service officials out of crucial discussions that produced Trump’s final executive order on mail-in voting. A White House spokesperson said the administration hadn’t interfered improperly with the Postal Service and that the president’s order had “added important safeguards to vote-by-mail.”
