How do we build trust in elections? There have been widespread election fraud claims after the past two presidential elections despite little to no evidence. In 2022, the Pew Research Center found a party gap in terms of trust in elections. By a significant margin, Democratic voters tended to think that elections “will be administered well,” in the upcoming election. And overall, since 2018, Democrats and Republicans express less trust in elections, a troubling finding, since faith in elections is vital to American democracy. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas discusses ways to build trust in elections with scholars E.J. Dionne and Elaine Kamarck.
