Episode Details

Maine’s Republican gubernatorial candidate is stoking fears of election fraud by proposing federal marshals and ICE at polling places—despite noncitizen voting being an extremely rare felony. Critics call the push a political tactic to justify future election disruptions, especially as Congress control hangs in the balance. A debunked census report claimed thousands voted illegally in 2020, but experts say its methodology is flawed. Homeland Security sent letters alleging hundreds of thousands of noncitizens were registered—but states dispute this, citing their own audits that found far fewer cases. Meanwhile, debates rage over new voter ID laws, with supporters touting “election integrity” and opponents warning it could disenfranchise voters lacking easy access to required documents.
