Summary

Following the midterm elections, voters want to know that their vote was counted and that the election was secure.   Concern over election security exists among Republicans and Democrats alike, but are the fears founded?  "I think we can trust many, if not most, of our elections, but there are elections where either people cheat or significant errors are made by election officials that question the result," says Hans von Spakovsky, co-author of “Our Broken Elections: How the Left Changed the Way You Vote," in an interview recorded ahead of Election Day. Von Spakovsky, who is also the manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the frequency of voter fraud and the states with the best and worst election security laws. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
