Joyce Vance: 本期节目讨论了美国各地法院收到的创纪录数量的与投票和选举相关的案件，并介绍了Marc Elias作为美国最著名的选举律师之一，他参与了多个总统竞选活动的选举法律顾问工作，专注于潜在的计票、选举后诉讼以及挑战全国各地的选民压制法律。 Marc Elias: 2020年大选后，特朗普及其盟友提起超过60起诉讼，几乎全部败诉。这表明，特朗普可能会再次提起大量毫无根据的诉讼。特朗普将法庭视为打击商业对手的工具，并将其复制到竞选活动中，利用选举诉讼来恐吓对手。共和党和特朗普可能会提起大量毫无根据的诉讼，试图混淆视听。我们需要预料到选举之夜不会知道谁赢了，以及特朗普会立即对选举结果撒谎。特朗普会利用诉讼程序来掩盖真相，而不是寻求真相。特朗普比以往任何时候都更加绝望，可能会采取更过分的行为。 Marc Elias: 重要的是，美国民众也需要了解特朗普的策略，以防其损害选民对选举的信心。特朗普过去四年一直在诋毁选举，并建立了一个否认2020年选举结果的运动，因此选民对选举的信心已经受到损害。我们需要确保人们获得事实信息，了解挑战，并明白我们已经为这些挑战做好了准备。提起诉讼并不意味着一定会胜诉。共和党全国委员会正在挑战密西西比州的一项法律条款，该条款允许在选举日邮戳并在选举后五天内收到的邮寄选票被计算在内。共和党全国委员会在2020年大选前支持邮寄投票，但由于特朗普的反对，他们改变了立场。共和党无法反驳特朗普对邮寄投票的言论，因此只能重复他的谎言。共和党对邮寄投票的反对并非出于真心，而是因为他们无法反驳特朗普。
