Once again, conspiracy theories about voting fraud are front and center ahead of a presidential election. Led by their nominee, Republican voters in particular are worried about things like non-citizens voting en masse and bad actors rigging voting machines.
Hosts Caitlyn Kim and Bente Birkeland -- with special guest, news fellow Kiara DeMare -- walk through the safeguards in place that keep those things from happening. The tools are as simple as database searches and double-checking results, but the implications are profound for trust in our democracy.
(This episode taped before news broke of the voter fraud investigation in Mesa County. Which is a real shame, since we would have loved to talk about it.)
This episode was produced by Shane Rumsey and edited by Megan Verlee.
