## Resource

Former FEC chair Trey Trainor says Trump’s newly declassified documents should serve as a wake-up call—not to undo past elections, but to overhaul how we secure our voting systems. Trump’s speech exposed alleged vulnerabilities in electronic voting and raised unverified claims about Chinese access to voter data; Trainor warns that systems from voter rolls to machines are dangerously exposed. He expects federal action, including lawsuits against states with sloppy voter databases, and bluntly says election infrastructure isn’t secure for the upcoming midterms. The goal? Use this moment to build stronger, more resilient elections for everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
