I'm going to start with a deep, deep breath.

Good evening.

I am Stephanie Ruhl, and welcome to the very last nightcap, at least mine, here on the 11th

hour.

We are now 144 days away from the midterms.

And while the president gets ready for his big UFC fight, that is

dead serious, not a joke at the White House this weekend, his administration also seems very

focused on sowing doubt in U.S. elections. MS now is reporting that the FBI raided the Cleveland

offices of a local voter registration organization, quote, agents also fanned out across the state,

showing up at the homes of the group's leaders and their staff members, carrying some subpoenas

and seeking information and electronic devices in what one of the members called straight-up

intimidation tactics. Ohio is just the latest state to face an investigation like this one, and there

have been probes over voting protocols in the states of Georgia and Wisconsin. Plus, several more

states have resisted DOJ subpoenas for their voter registration list. Now, the U.S. Postal Service is

trying to withhold delivery of their mail-in ballots, which state officials say would cause

major, major disruptions, and states that rely on mail-in ballots, which state officials say would cause major, major disruptions

in states that rely on mail-in voting like California.

California's most recent primary, of course, is already the center of Trump's baseless

election fraud claims, and he's getting a whole lot of backup from top federal prosecutor

in Los Angeles, who told Glenn Beck that his office would be

charging some people soon, quote, it will be election fraud charges in the next one or two months,

I believe. We need some of these results to be certified so we can prove some of the allegations.
