The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trumpâs threats to ânationalizeâ elections in fifteen states, the recent F.B.I. raid to seize 2020 voting records at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, and the ways in which the Administration might meddle with a free and fair vote in 2026. Their guest, Richard Hasen, is the director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at U.C.L.A.âs School of Law. âI actually think that now is the time to be preparing for this,â Hasen says. âI think states and localities should think about getting injunctions from federal courts against Donald Trump to prevent him from interfering with the tabulation of ballots.âThis weekâs reading:
