Episode notes
White House Draft Seeks Emergency Control Over Elections
- The White House is reportedly considering an executive order declaring a national emergency over alleged foreign interference in 2020 to centralize control of elections.
- Reporting cites a 17-page draft claiming China interfered and activists tied to the White House circulating it as a basis for extraordinary presidential powers.
Courts And States Are The Primary Check On Federal Election Overreach
- Courts and states remain key legal and practical bulwarks because the Constitution leaves elections to states and past court rulings blocked similar national actions.
- Panelists emphasize past judicial blocks of presidential orders requiring passports for voting as precedent against unilateral federal takeover.
Confusion And Federal Pressure Can Undermine Elections Without Direct Seizure
- The panel warns that even without lawful authority, federal rhetoric and use of law enforcement/intelligence can sow confusion and undermine election legitimacy.
- Sam Faddis and Garland Favarito argue controlling the narrative and federal assets can throw elections into turmoil short of outright theft.
