Badlands Daily: 7/27/26 - Jury Duty Bombshell, CNN's Mea Culpa & Schumer's Doomsday Drills

CannCon and Zak Paine dig into a fascinating side door into the New Jersey non citizen voter story: jury duty summons. It turns out a full 20 percent of the roughly one million people summoned each year report they do not meet eligibility requirements, mostly over citizenship, and those same lists overlap heavily with voter rolls pulled straight from the DMV and tax records. They also play a surprisingly candid clip of a CNN anchor admitting he was wrong to dismiss claims of illegal voting by migrants after previously calling the whole idea debunked. From there they cover Alaska's self attestation loophole for inactive voters before wrapping with Chuck Schumer's closed door doomsday tabletop exercises preparing Senate Democrats for a range of midterm nightmare scenarios. Expect some sharp back and forth and plenty of skepticism about official numbers.
