When: Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 4 p.m. Eastern
Where: Virtual event
Over the last year, ProPublica has published a series of in-depth investigations into the Trump administration’s attempts to assert federal control over elections, an effort that has increasingly defined Donald Trump’s second presidency.
Reporters on our election team have dug into the administration’s attempts to sharply restrict mail-in voting and interfere with the U.S. Postal Service’s efforts to deliver election mail in a timely manner, which a White House spokesperson has denied.
They’ve also brought readers inside the administration’s failed hunt for noncitizen voters, as well as how the main tool the government was using, known as SAVE, was highly inaccurate and had misidentified hundreds of eligible voters in Missouri and Texas as potential noncitizens.
The team has also examined how the Trump administration has systematically demolished the institutional guardrails that held — barely — when Trump tried to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in 2020. The Trump administration maintained that its actions would make elections fairer and more secure, keeping those prohibited from voting, especially noncitizens, from doing so.
Join us for a virtual event to learn how the Trump administration has dismantled guardrails meant to protect the vote and what it all means for the midterm elections.
