It's a mess.

Right.

And that's the key bit.

Do and not do.

And also there's like the soft power and the hard power of this.

The hard power that experts and former voting section lawyers told Wired was basically the very specific protections that are in place just won't be occurring anymore.

Right.

Right.

So like when we're talking about like discrimination at the roles, what does that actually look like?

How do you challenge that?

Who is there to hear those challenges?

Who is there to take those cases?

The section has like so very clearly turned its attention that like that's just kind of missing.

A slightly like almost soft power sort of way.

The idea of damaging and undermining elections, even in a very emotional, continual way, you're seeing in the news, oh, these states won't hand over their elections.

Oh, it's because it's fraud.

Oh, it's because they're protecting immigrants for voting.

That doesn't happen, et cetera, et cetera.

There is this very, very concerning bit of just like, we're continuing to undermine trust in elections.

And a lot of the lawyers we spoke to are very nervous about that.
