The Daily Beans Ballot Box Poison (feat. Rachel O'Leary Carmona)
Thursday, March 26th, 2026
Today, Democrat Emily Gregory has flipped the deep-red Florida House district that includes Mar-a-Lago; North Carolina MAGA leader Phil Berger redistricted himself out of power; a Republican election denier in Wisconsin was just convicted of election fraud; Zukerberg’s Meta has been ordered to pay $375 million in a New Mexico trial over child exploitation and user safety claims; a federal judge has blocked the administration from detaining thousands of refugees; Republicans accidentally gave Congress a memo that reveals Trump’s motive for hoarding classified documents; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
