With the 2026 midterms fast approaching, the threat to free and fair elections has never felt more urgent. Trump and his cronies have spent years laying the groundwork for exactly the kind of election interference that voting rights attorney David F. Walbert has spent five decades fighting.
David F. Walbert is a graduate of Stanford University and the University of Michigan, where he received his undergraduate and Masters degrees in physics. He received his law degree from Case Western University. While there, he was the editor of the Law Review and received other honors, including Order of the Coif. He has argued before the Supreme Court multiple times on voting rights and much more.
In his new book, Stealing Elections, American Style, Walbert traces the long history of election interference in America—and explains why the greatest threats facing the 2026 midterms may not come on Election Day itself. They’ll dig into how elections have been stolen throughout American history, what the playbook looks like today, and—most urgently—what could go wrong this November.
If you want to understand what’s at stake and how to protect democracy, this is where you start.
