GOP’s Voter Suppression Scam EXPOSED | Rep. Dan Goldman

from Defending Democracy with Marc Elias · host Democracy Docket

Congressman Dan Goldman joins Marc Elias to break down the coordinated and escalating assault on democratic institutions, driven by partisan misuse of the Department of Justice, federal interference in elections, and sweeping voter suppression efforts ahead of the 2026 midterms. Drawing on his experience as a former federal prosecutor, Goldman explains new legislative efforts to impose guardrails on politicized prosecutions, warns of federal attempts to seize voting infrastructure and voter data, and frames the SAVE Act as a central pillar of a broader election-subversion strategy.Support independent journalism:https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-youtubeStay informed with the latest news and political analysis:https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/youtubeFollow Democracy Docket:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/democracydocket.comInstagram⁠: https://instagram.com/democracydocketFacebook⁠: https://facebook.com/democracydocketX/Twitter⁠: https://twitter.com/DemocracyDocketTikTok⁠: https://tiktok.com/@democracydocketThreads: https://www.threads.net/@democracydocket00:00 Todays Guest: Rep.
