Research that resonates.

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

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.

Be very prescient Eric Eggers. Join me right now is Government Accountability Institute Research Director, Eric Eggers. 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. You're 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. Well, we've got very important elections coming up in November.

But could the outcome of those elections be determined or largely influenced by decisions the Supreme Court and Congress are making right now?

We're going to unpack that with Eric Eggers, the co-hosts of this program. Eric, how are you?

It's election day, Peter. Okay, no, it's not. But it could be. If election day doesn't mean anything, it's sort of a vibe, it's a season. And that is among the things the Supreme Court is attempting to address right now. They seem poised to strike down. I didn't have this on my bingo card, a Mississippi election law that apparently is more permissive than one would expect. Yes, that's exactly right. We're going to unpack what happened at the Supreme Court. And then we're going to talk about some of the legislation that Congress is considering. This, of course, is a great topic for you. You both wrote that book fraud on election fraud back in 2018, I believe it was, before all the controversy about the

2020 election. So you're well versed in these issues. But there's a long history in America

of, let's say, voter irregularities. And you've found a very interesting movie clip for us that

kind of signifies this. Well, when you talk election day, and by the way, I love it when you refer to my book, which I'm very proud of, but when you say it came out in 2018, at this point, you make me sound like hooting the blowfish. And it's like, thank you for remembering. I still want to hold your hand. So, no, it's been a while, But the point is questions about an interest in election integrity

and how do we make sure that our elections are safe and secure and accurate as possible.

The interest is only ramped up in a big way over the last eight years since that book came out.

And of course, we have a history in this country rich with, let's call it creative interpretations of voting laws.

And this clip from the movie Gangs in New York, I think, is the best way to personify that.

All right.

Line them up.
