Why We Vote Ep. 121: Trump’s EO Meltdown, David Becker’s Panic, and the War Over Voter Rolls

In this sharp and often hilarious episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America finally tackle David Becker’s hour-long meltdown over President Trump’s recent election integrity executive order, and it’s everything they hoped it would be. Becker, co-founder of the ERIC voter roll system and former recipient of Zuckerbucks, held a private briefing for elections officials meant to calm nerves… but ended up exposing the very corruption Trump’s order is designed to root out.

Ashe and Cann fact-check Becker in real time, dismantling his claims about state authority, election funding, and the so-called independence of commissions like the EAC. They walk through the tangled web of NGOs, voter roll manipulation, and federal overreach masquerading as decentralized “support,” highlighting how Becker’s “expert class” narrative crumbles under its own contradictions.

They also expose the shady origins of the ERIC system, Zuckerberg-funded NGO pipelines in swing states, and why proof of citizenship, especially for overseas voters, is the establishment’s biggest fear. Plus: real-time laughs, side rants on early voting, a surprise Trump press conference with RFK and Dr. Oz, and a whole lot of frog-in-the-throat ramen metaphors.

Spoiler: David Becker gets roasted. Repeatedly.
