And charges that have gone forward represent a minuscule fraction of registered voters.

MSNL White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez brought us that reporting, and she joins us now.

Laura, what else did you find?

Yeah, Alicia.

But when you what this speaks to Alicia is the fact that the president going back to his first administration has put up a lot of smoke and mirrors around false claims of fraud, be it voter fraud, period, be it fraud that he says is widespread and committed by non-citizens and has tried to convince the American public that this is a widespread problem.

But all of our research and our data and the reporting that we've done suggests that it is not a widespread problem, Alicia.

A critical fact check from Laura Barron-Lopez.

Thank you so much.

Prosecution.

My colleague, Laura Barron-Lopez, who is behind this reporting for us, spoke to Connolly yesterday.

She asked her if she was afraid of those threats of prosecution by the Justice Department.

Connolly said no.

So that's a really that's an important protection and limitation on DHS's ability to continue perpetuating this sort of fear mongering narrative.

One other piece of quick news Laura Barron-Lopez is reporting tonight is that multiple states, Arizona, Utah, have received letters that prosecutors from the DOJ will be working as elections monitors at jurisdictions around the country here.

There's going to be a lot more to talk to you about, Jessica Morrison, here in the days ahead.

Jessica, Director of Impact Programs and Council, Civic Space and Rule of Law at Protect Democracy.

Send us those questions and we will try to get to them later in the program.

But let's get started and bring in MSNOW White House reporter Laura Barrón-López.

She joins us live from Iowa this morning.

OK, Laura, lay out where the Senate race stands.

Now, prior to the president's rally, Hamilton's campaign released a video of him welcoming Trump to the state, telling the president he'd always be willing to sit down and have a civil conversation with him.

I want to bring in MSNOW White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez here on set with me.

I mean, look, we're watching the pivot to the culture wars in real time.

It makes sense that Republicans are going back to that well.

An administration that has lost any capacity for shame or self-control will soon completely lose the confidence of the voters who put it there.

With the integrity of our government on the line, let's bring in MSNOW's Laura Barron-Lopez covering the White House, Michael Feinberg as a former FBI assistant special agent in charge, and MSNOW national security and intelligence analysts Corbyn Trent was communications director for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and host of A Fight Worth Having.

And Molly Jung Fast hosts the Fast Politics podcast, contributes to the New York Times opinion pages, and is an MSNL political analyst.

I can almost feel, Corbyn, our viewers at home saying all of the sound that you played about the president draining the swamp was from 2016.

and the cooking there.

I appreciate that you both brought us back to the stakes because this whole thing is very odd, but I actually think that it does matter.

Laura Barron-Lopez, Corbyn Trent, thank you both so much.
