Trump administration's voter suppression attempts ahead of midterms are not only 'morally wrong,' they're illegal

Imagine going to the polls on Election Day and discovering that your ballot could be collected and reviewed by the sitting president of the United States. That's essentially what Donald Trump is trying to do to voters in North Carolina – and we can't let it happen.
