Election Stress Test: DHS, Executive Orders, and the Midterm Showdown
Episode 609
Sunday, 15 February, 2026

This episode warns that the upcoming midterms could become a major "stress test" for U.S. democracy, drawing on election lawyer Mark Elias’s analysis of a predictable pattern: sweeping lies about fraud, court battles, abuses of power, and the threat of violence. It also covers Trump’s talk of executive orders to alter voting rules despite lacking authority, and concerns about a federal force willing to act unlawfully. It then reviews Steve Bannon’s interview with Cleta Mitchell, who advocates restricting voting and emphasizes DHS/CISA’s role in elections and claims of foreign interference. The episode outlines a possible scenario where allegations of hacking or interference could be used to delay certification and challenge results, creating legal and political chaos during the midterms.
