Jessica Rosenthal:提前提出法律挑战,特别是针对选举官员在州一级执行选举的方式存在的结构性问题的挑战,更有可能成功。 Jason Chaffetz:预测下届政府的政策走向,认为特朗普可能会在下一届政府中引入外部声音和不同的专家。 Andy McCarthy:提前提起诉讼,而不是在选举日之后,可以使法律程序在更合理的时间框架内展开;在选举后一个月内调查和证明选举舞弊非常困难,除非有确凿的证据;提前提出关于选举官员行为的质疑,比选举后提出质疑更容易获得法院的良好听证会;关于“假选民”的争议尚未解决,检察官和支持者对“假选民”的定义存在分歧;维吉尼亚州正在根据州法律清除不合格选民,包括非法移民;非法移民投票会稀释美国公民投票的价值,剥夺他们决定选举结果的权利;如果选民在提前投票后去世,他们的选票不应该被计算在内;预计选举结果将在12月初确定,但希望选举结果在选举之夜就能确定;提前提出的诉讼可能不会延迟选举结果的公布,除非存在大规模的舞弊行为。 Erin Perrine:特朗普的政策重点将是立即对税收和边境进行有针对性的改变;特朗普可能会在第一天就采取行政行动,例如恢复对边境的管控;特朗普可能会在下一届政府中引入外部声音和不同的专家,例如埃隆·马斯克;特朗普的竞选策略正在奏效,他在关键人口统计数据方面正在取得进展。 Patrick Murphy:哈里斯政府的优先事项包括通过内阁确认听证会,展示发展势头,并解决诸如未通过的法案等问题;哈里斯需要采取跨党派合作的方式来治理,这包括在内阁中任命共和党人;哈里斯应该在未来两周内更加清晰地阐明她的愿景,并展示她与拜登政府的不同之处。 Jason Chaffetz: 在大选前的最后两周,赢得媒体关注至关重要;特朗普擅长赢得媒体关注,而哈里斯则不擅长即兴发挥。

Key Insights

Why are so many election-related lawsuits being filed before the election?

Lawsuits are filed in advance to address structural problems with how election officials intend to carry out the elections, allowing the process to unfold in a timeframe that lends itself to litigation.

Proving election fraud in court is very hard, especially within the tight timeframe between the election and the certification of electoral votes, unless there is clear and compelling evidence.

Why is Virginia purging non-eligible voters from the voter rolls?

Virginia is following a state law, signed by former Governor Tim Kaine, to ensure the voting rolls are free of ineligible voters, including illegal aliens, to protect the integrity of elections.

Why does the presence of ineligible voters on the rolls matter?

Ineligible voters, especially illegal aliens, dilute the value of votes cast by eligible American citizens and can potentially affect election outcomes.

Why might the 2024 election results take weeks to solidify?

The election results could take weeks to solidify due to the close nature of the race, pre-filed lawsuits, and the need to address any potential irregularities or fraud claims.

Why might Donald Trump bring in outside voices like Elon Musk to his administration?

Trump might bring in diverse opinions and experts like Elon Musk to make the government more efficient and effective, leveraging their business and economic success.

Why is Kamala Harris focusing on tax breaks and economic stimulus in her campaign?

Harris is focusing on tax breaks for first-time homebuyers, small businesses, and expanding the child tax credit to stimulate the economy and gain bipartisan support.

Why might Kamala Harris appoint a Republican to her cabinet?

Harris might appoint a Republican to her cabinet to foster bipartisanship and work across the aisle, given the divided government and the need for cooperation.

Election Day is two weeks away, yet over 160 election-related lawsuits have been preemptively filed. Most focus on how ballots are cast and counted, how to protect against alleged voter fraud, and who should be eligible to vote. Experts say this speeds up the legal process once we reach Election Day. FOX News Contributor and Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Andy McCarthy, says this has become commonplace following the 2000 election. McCarthy joins to preview the coming legal drama, Virginia's efforts to purge non-eligible voters, and why it may take weeks to solidify the election results.

The candidates have been pitching their vision for the country to voters on the campaign trail, but what would a second Trump administration or a Harris administration really look like? Republican strategist at Axiom Strategies and former Trump 2020 Press Communications Director Erin Perrine explains how the former President’s policies would focus on immediate targeted changes to taxes and the border. Later, former PA Congressman and former Under Secretary of the Army, Patrick Murphy, joins to share Harris’ plans for economic stimulus for the middle class and a potential Republican in her cabinet. 

Plus, commentary from FOX News Contributor and host of the Jason In The House podcast, Jason Chaffetz.
