In the wake of the 2020 election, a power struggle over the right to vote has broken out between states and the federal government — but who really wields the power? The Constitution’s Elections Clause gives Congress broad authority to decide election rules, but the far-right is now seeking to contort the clause to justify their voter suppression and election subversion plots. Brennan Center President Michael Waldman moderates a discussion with election scholar Franita Tolson, historian Rosemarie Zagarri, and The Atlantic senior editor Ron Brownstein to break down the Elections Clause and explore what the future of voting — and the fight over it — will look like as we approach the midterm elections.
