On this week’s episode of the Insider podcast, former U.S. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta joins Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance to discuss the biggest threats to the midterm elections. Gupta explains why the Trump administration’s attempt to preemptively block certification of Alaska’s Senate election over a dispute involving two candidates with the same name is unlikely to succeed. They also discuss the administration’s petition asking the Supreme Court to review a judge’s dismissal of its lawsuit to remove nearly 20,000 alleged noncitizens from California’s voter rolls. Plus, what to watch for on Election Day and in the days that follow.
