On Topic With Renato Mariotti

This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Watson v. Republican National Committee, in a dispute over mail-in ballot deadlines. The GOP sued to block a Mississippi law, passed by a GOP-led legislature, that allows ballots to be counted if they’re postmarked by Election Day and received within five days. Asha and Renato discuss how the case could impact mail-in voting nationwide and why conservatives are increasingly targeting state election procedures. Then, they talk about the latest incompetent missteps at Trump’s Justice Department, including a DOJ attorney’s failure to timely serve a Washington state official after suing him for voter data. Finally, Renato and Asha turn to Minnesota’s lawsuit against the Trump administration after the DOJ and DHS refused to share crime scene materials with state investigators in the January shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti and another Minnesota resident by ICE and Border Patrol agents.
