## Resource

Trump gave a speech Thursday night packed with recycled 2020 grievances and zero new evidence. But buried at the end was a directive every voter should be paying attention to before 2026. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down what Trump actually said, why his claims about Chinese hacking, "vulnerable" voting machines and noncitizen voting don't hold up, and what he's really setting up: a partisan purge of voter rolls before the midterms.
