"Will we actually have Midterm elections next year? That was the question posed to three veteran conservative election law experts last week and they unanimously agreed that there would be elections... and that they probably would not be free and fair. These aren't crazies who thought 2020 was fixed by Venezuelan Jewish space lasers. These are sober-minded experts who believe America's election procedures are historically among the best in the world, and they are telling us that they're not sure we're gonna stay that way."
"The election law panel at the Society for the Rule of Law summit was one of the most terrifying hours you can spend outside of a midnight Exorcist showing. All the more horrifying because nothing could be dismissed as anything but a calm recitation of the explicit and implicit threats to election integrity emanating from the darker corners of the White House."
"Moderated by former Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who's spent the last five years having QAnon boomers call him "traitor" on Facebook, the panel featured Campaign Legal Center and former FEC chairman Trevor Potter, former Scalia clerk Richard Bernstein, and Matt Germer of the R Street Institute, all calmly walking through the various 2026 midterms like hospice chaplains for democracy."
Three veteran conservative election law experts agreed that midterm elections will take place next year but probably will not be free and fair. The experts warned of explicit and implicit threats to election integrity originating from the White House. The panel was moderated by a former Maricopa County Recorder and included prominent election-law figures who outlined potential tactics and risks for 2026. The experts contrasted that threat assessment with the 2024 general election outcome, noting that local election infrastructure has become more professionalized, networked, and resilient after confronting baseless 2020 allegations.
