Legal battles across country could complicate midterms

As President Trump attempts to wield greater power over election administration ahead of the midterms, dozens of legal battles are currently underway across the country. Their outcomes could shape how elections are run this fall. Liz Landers discussed more with Ben Ginsberg. He has spent decades working as a Republican election lawyer, including on the landmark 2000 Bush v. Gore dispute.
