Episode 164 Explosive Week at Supreme Court with Major Cases on the Line

This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Watson v. Republican National Committee, in a dispute over mail-in ballot deadlines. The GOP sued to block a Mississippi law, passed by a GOP-led legislature, that allows ballots to be counted if they’re postmarked by Election Day and received within five days. Asha and Renato discuss how the case could impact mail-in voting nationwide and why conservatives are increasingly targeting state election procedures. Then, they talk about the latest incompetent missteps at Trump’s Justice Department, including a DOJ attorney’s failure to timely serve a Washington state official after suing him for voter data.
