But what happens when you are in a state like Texas or in a state like Florida?
voice-verified
Where, you know, the Republican Party sort of runs the state government, but also has infiltrated at a MAGA level into a lot of these local county positions.
voice-verified
And that is where I worry that it isn't going to just be election officials standing up to the federal government.
voice-verified
Remember, I mentioned we have won twenty one cases, Department of Justice sued thirty states.
voice-verified
There were twenty states that turned it over voluntarily, and those are the places
voice-verified
I am in some ways more worried.
voice-verified
Yeah, so Donald Trump uh put in place an executive order, tried to put in place an executive order last year uh to take over voting.
voice-verified
Uh we sued, others sued, we won, and that was blocked.
voice-verified
Then this year he put it forward another executive order.
voice-verified
And in some ways it's much more audacious.
voice-verified
Because what it seeks to do is to commandeer the US Postal Service to require states to provide that voter data that we're beating them in court on when they're trying to go to the state.
voice-verified
States, try to get the states to have to turn it over to the Postal Service or else the Postal Service, wait for it, won't deliver you a mail-in ballot.
voice-verified
So that has now been challenged in court.
voice-verified
And the first of those cases to get to the Supreme Court was a case brought by Democratic Attorneys General.
voice-verified
And they won it the trial court, they won it the Court of Appeals.
voice-verified
And uh the the administration is asking the Supreme Court to set that aside.
voice-verified
We are all waiting now for to hear what the Supreme Court says.
voice-verified
But here is my message.
voice-verified
If you look at what the Trump administration is saying, they are not saying
voice-verified
That the Supreme Court should rule their way because Donald Trump was right.
