Summary
Your vote is supposed to be local—but the rules are being rewritten. What happens when federal authority begins to overlap with your neighborhood polling place? Michael Steele peels back the layers on the push to nationalize elections and the quiet battle for control over how ballots are handled. He explores how agencies like ICE are being woven into the political narrative and what this means for the future of local sovereignty.
