The Trump administration has sued to potentially block certification of a Senate race in Alaska, threatened California election officials with jail time, and challenged the voter rolls in 30 states.

So with a few days to go before the midterms, should we still be worried?Dahlia is joined by <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/author/ari-berman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ari Berman</a>, Mother Jones national voting rights correspondent and author of <a href="https://www.libraryjournal.com/review/minority-rule-the-rightwing-attack-on-the-will-of-the-peopleand-the-fight-to-resist-it-1802803" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Minority Rule</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22929518-give-us-the-ballot" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Give Us the Ballot</a>, to walk through the legal state of play heading into Election Day. They cover the Alaska Senate race lawsuit, the California ballot-segregation case, the threat of election-day ballot seizures and poll intimidation, and the Supreme Court&#39;s likely role if disputed elections land on its doorstep. They also discuss a source of hope: Black voters across the South are surging to the polls, driven by the Roberts Court’s attack on voting rights in its recent <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/608/24-109/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Callais</a> decision, turning a ruling designed to suppress their votes into the most powerful mobilizing force of the cycle.Plus, Amicus Plus members get a bonus episode with Madiba Dennie on this week’s Epstein file revelations, new GOP threats to judges who rule against Trump, and a major religious liberty case headed to SCOTUS.Want more Amicus?
