from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left
In this episode, we delve into President Trump’s recent remarks advocating for the federal “takeover” of state-run elections—a proposition that starkly contradicts constitutional provisions. We also examine Steve Bannon’s incendiary call for ICE agents to be present at polling places during the upcoming midterms, a move that raises serious legal and ethical concerns. We’ll discuss the federal laws that prohibit such actions, the historical context of voter intimidation, and the broader implications for our democracy.
