How the president's lies about election integrity affect Wisconsin

from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

President Trump continues to tout a lie that he won the 2020 election, despite evidence that confirms that Joe Biden won. While Trump continues to focus on what happened in 2020 – these claims about election integrity matter in a midterm election year when voters are counting on the voting system to be safe and secure.  Edgar Lin is with Protect Democracy, a non-partisan, anti-authoritarian group that uses litigation, advocacy and research to protect elections. He says one thing that’s different about Trump’s election lies in 2026 is that they are backed by the federal government. Lin joins WUWM’s Maayan Silver to break down the claims coming from the president and the facts about our election system this midterm election year.
