GovExec Daily: Election Security Amid Threats to Ballot Access
The Alliance for Securing Democracy's David Levine joins the podcast to discuss how elections can be administered after a contentious 2020.
On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court overruled a previous federal appeals court decision that held that Arizona voting laws disproportionately affected voters of color, a violation of the Voting Rights Act. The Thursday ruling is another blow to voting rights advocates, as the aftermath of the 2020 election has seen dozens of states pass dozens of laws restricting voting and making it harder for election officials to administer elections.
David Levine is the Elections Integrity Fellow at the Alliance for Securing Democracy and the author of a new report titled “How To Retain Election Officials To Secure Future Elections.” He joined the show now to discuss election security and election administration.
