Patti is joined by Greg Palast, who discussed his investigative work on vote suppression, highlighting how "the Jim Crow operation in our voting system" helped Donald Trump win 3,565,000 votes in the 2024 election. He detailed how Trump front groups like True the Vote challenged hundreds of thousands of voters, primarily people of color, using false claims, emphasized the importance of re-registration drives, and urged voters to stay informed to protect their voting rights. Republicans, Palast told WCPT, are "already stealing 2026 as these tactics get worse."
