In the lead-up to the midterm elections, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is actively working to identify and prosecute individuals accused of illegally voting. The DOJ has heightened its visibility by occasionally holding televised press conferences to make announcements regarding these actions.
Despite these efforts, there is no evidence that supports former President Donald Trump’s unfounded assertions of widespread voter fraud affecting election outcomes. Trump’s claims have repeatedly been debunked by fact-checkers and election officials across the country.
Ali Rogin, a justice correspondent for the PBS NewsHour, reports on this issue. Rogin is known for her comprehensive coverage of the Supreme Court and the American judicial system. In recognition of her work, she earned a Peabody Award in 2021 for a News Hour series on the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rogin’s journalistic excellence is further highlighted by two Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association. She has been part of multiple teams nominated for Emmy Awards. Her notable coverage includes the fall of ISIS in 2020, the mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017, the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2014, and the 2010 midterm elections.
