Why Americans Should Trust Our Elections | Susan Hyde (Berkeley)
From Civic Forum · 00:33:49
Show by Rory Truex
Democrats won control of Congress in last week's midterm, and within a week President Trump was posting that the result was "all about the machines." How much fraud is there in American elections, and how would we know? This week, Rory interviews Susan Hyde, professor of political science at UC Berkeley and a leading expert on election observation, who has monitored elections around the world and studies electoral fraud. The conversation covers what election day looked like from inside a polling place, why it is so hard to tamper with the vote count, the unusual, partisan way the United States administers its elections, and when an election is actually over. Rory also presents new data from the Election Legitimacy Tracking Survey on how many Republicans accept that Democrats won. It closes with a discussion of how to rebuild trust in elections and whether American democracy can correct itself.
