Welcome to Breaking the Vote, the newsletter from VICE News tracking the steady assault on American democracy. I guess the first thing I'd say is that I wish we didn't have to be here. I wish there were no need for a reporting project dedicated to the ongoing campaign of lying, bad faith, violence, intimidation, and authoritarianism aimed at solidifying right-wing minority rule. It would be better if we weren't all watching an accelerating effort in Washington—and in precincts large and small across America—to separate voters' will from who takes power to govern them.
