Interview with Steve Posner, an adjunct assistant professor of writing at the University of Southern California, conducted by Scott Harris.

Steve Posner talks about his recent San Francisco Chronicle commentary, “How Trump Can Keep the House Without Winning the Midterms,” describing a possible anti-democratic scheme where Trump’s election deniers in GOP-led states slow walk recounts and stall certification of Democratic wins, creating a situation where Republicans retain their House of Representatives majority.

Albert is author of 21 books on economics, politics and socialism.
