12:16Now PlayingThe DOJ Is 0 For 20 In Court: Trump's Voter Roll Plan Is Collapsing 90 Days Before The Midterms

Elections lawyer Mark Elias has spent six years fighting Donald Trump in court and winning, and his newest Democracy Docket video puts a number on the latest failure: the Department of Justice is 0 for 20 in lawsuits aimed at seizing state voter rolls.
Hawk lays out why the executive branch has no constitutional role in running state or federal elections, why only a handful of red states have handed over raw voter data, and why no blue state and no court is going to force that information out.
There is also the collapse of the reflecting pool prosecutions. Janine Pirro dismissed the criminal vandalism charges after admitting there was no evidence, and the more likely motive was self preservation, since misrepresenting evidence to a federal judge carries disbarment and prosecution risk for the prosecutor, not the president.
With the 2026 midterm elections roughly three months out, Hawk looks ahead to the window between Election Day and January, mail in ballots, chain of custody, and what happens when a Justice Department staffed for loyalty instead of competence keeps losing.
