Election Integrity: How Do We Restore Faith in Our Election System?

The legitimacy of election results and integrity of our voting process have increasingly come into question, and while few claims of election fraud have been found to have substance, these claims have consequences. If American citizens don’t have faith in their election system, the peaceful transfer of power between political parties can become contentious. Some are calling for reforms to our voting process, from ranked-choice voting to primary reform, and to alter or completely do away with the electoral college. So how should we address concerns about election integrity and make sure Americans feel confident in election results? Director of Sphere Education Initiatives Allan Carey discusses these issues with Walter Olson, senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, Jeanine Abrams McLean, president of Fair Count, and Dan McLaughlin, senior writer at National Review Online and fellow at National Review Institute.
