Summary
After the 2020 election season, many came to the realization that our election system needs significant reforms. In fact, we have actually seen a lot of victories on this front in 2021. But as states pass laws, they are experiencing pushback from left-leaning groups, and the Biden DOJ. That's why The Heritage Foundation has developed an incredible tool called the Election Integrity Scorecard. It analyzes the election laws of every state and grades them on how well they protect the security and integrity of the election process. It’s great context to help understand what has been done, and what more can be done to make it so it's easy to vote, and hard to cheat. On this episode, we talk with Hans von Spakovsky. He's on the frontlines of developing the policies that many of these states are implementing, and has keen insight as to how 2022 can differ from 2020.

| 0:00.0 | From the Heritage Foundation, Merry Christmas, from your pals at Heritage Explains. |
| 0:28.5 | Thank you. Christmas from your pals at Heritage Explains. 2021 has been a very busy news year. |
| 0:32.3 | A new president, a global pandemic with an onslaught of government overreach to boot, |
| 0:37.3 | supply chain issues, prices |
| 0:38.8 | going sky high, growing threats from our enemies abroad, just to name a few. |
| 0:44.0 | Man, I need a deep breath after that. |
| 0:50.1 | But one issue seems to be sort of flying under the radar. |
| 0:55.5 | And that's the conservative pushback to restore voter integrity around the country. |
| 1:06.4 | Here's some classic liberal leftist spin from CNN. |
| 1:12.0 | A new tally by the left-leaning Brennan Center for Justice finds that 361 bills with provisions that would restrict voting have been introduced in 47 states as of March 24th. |
| 1:23.4 | That's a 43% jump in the number of bills since Brennan released its last report a little over a month ago. |
| 1:30.3 | Most of the bills target absentee voting. Nearly a quarter seek to impose stricter voter ID requirements. |
| 1:37.3 | A handful of states have already acted. |
| 1:40.3 | If CNN and the far-leftist Brennan Center refer to these largely Republican bills as, quote, restrictive, I'm dubious. |
| 1:49.9 | Naturally, of course. |
| 1:52.5 | But this report makes it seem like only red state Republicans are implementing these provisions. |
| 1:59.6 | I guess they miss this story in the deep blue Democrat state of New York. |
| 2:04.8 | New York State Republicans are claiming victory over last night's election results. |
| 2:09.4 | Ballot propositions backed heavily by Democrats failed to gain traction despite being relatively popular. |
| 2:16.2 | Wait, I thought only conservatives were against measures like voting registration on election day |
