Research that resonates.

He's the president of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Schweitzer.

Peter Schweitzer.

Peter Schweitzer.

Peter Schweitzer has spent many years.

In fact, probably done a more comprehensive job than anyone's ever done, chronicling the corruption by the powerful in Washington.

We're going to take information that we've learned, that people like Peter Schweitzer have uncovered, and we're going to try to go further. Great investigative reporting, Peter. The only

one doing it. Thank God. This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer.

Hi, this is Peter Schweitzer, and welcome to the Drill Down, where we relentlessly expose cronyism, corruption, and the abuse of power in Washington, D.C. The co-host of the program, Eric Eggers. Eric, how are you? I'm excellent, Peter. It's election season. It's always fun when you have a chance to kind of take the temperature of the country

and see not just the temperature of the country, but it's also kind of a little bit of a democracy

test. We're going to see how well each state does it administering their portion of our election.

Yeah, you may not be able to talk about the election around the dinner table, depending on the

political composition of your family members, but we're going to talk today, not about things you can't control,

meaning the issue is swirling around and what candidates are saying and what they're not doing.

We want to talk about the electoral process itself, because at the end of the day,

it's what the votes say, not what the polls say and not what the candidates say,

and certainly not what the national media is saying. So we want to talk about election risks. And some of these, I think are going to be surprising to people, the things that they should be watching for and should be concerned about. And this is based on a report that we've been working on here, the Government Accountability Institute, that will be coming out. Yeah, I think it is out now. In fact, you can check out the report at the Drilldown.com. We put a lot of work into this. You know, I would say it's the second best thing I've read that puts together a systematic review of the threats facing our election, you know, behind, of course, my book that came out six years ago and basically predicted everything that was going to happen. No, it didn't really predict it. because who saw COVID happening? But it did say, hey, here's the least secure ways to vote. And then 2020 came out and we said, okay, here's how we're going to vote that way. I have a feeling the Democrats read your book and used it as a manual in 2020 to help win that election. I would love to say that that's possible. But based on the sales figures, no one read my book.

So it's fine.

Well, let's-

Why I'm stuck here with you.

So let's talk about some of the issues, right?

I mean, when people think about election integrity, of course, there are all these reports about ballots and about machines being hacked.
