A DOGE team member signed a voter data agreement with an organization the government's own filings say tried to undermine state elections. Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward tells us all about it in today's new episode: https://youtu.be/1D0AHiUmXRA
We sit down with Skye Perryman to talk about what happens when democratic institutions are tested and ordinary citizens are forced to defend them. A lawyer who left corporate practice to help build Democracy Forward, she explains how her organization has challenged government actions in court while uncovering allegations involving DOGE, Social Security data, and election-related activities. We discuss voting rights and why legal victories alone are not enough. She says the future of American democracy will depend on whether people demand change rather than waiting for institutions to save them.
