Concerns Build for Election Interference in Midterms

KQED's Forum

About this episode

California senator Adam Schiff says that President Donald Trump will try to “subvert” the midterm elections this year by attempting to overturn any result that disadvantages Congressional Republicans. The President has recently called for nationalizing elections, made multiple unproven claims about voter fraud and pushed the FBI to seize ballots from a Georgia district he lost in 2020. Meanwhile, election integrity experts say U.S. voting systems are secure and that the courts will continue to reject election challenges brought by Trump. We unpack what we might see come November and how election officials are preparing. Guests: David Graham, staff writer, The Atlantic Wendy Weiser, vice president for democracy, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law Natalie Adona, registrar of voters, Marin County Learn more about your ad choices.
