Panel Two: Do Citizens Still Trust the Democratic Process?
Listen now
Description
From the 1960s onward, election lawyers on the political left focused on securing and expanding voting access. Lawyers on the political right focused on ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the voting process. Now, most academic literature suggests that there's fairly little disenfranchisement and fairly little voter fraud. Despite this evidence, the voting process has become increasingly controversial in recent years, with increasing attacks on election integrity and voting access. This rhetoric has all led to decreased voter trust in the process. Headed into another presidential election year, panelists will consider whether recent developments in mail-in voting, voter ID, and voter harvesting laws, among other issues, merit the decreased trust voters have in the process and how election lawyers should respond. Featuring: Audrey Perry Martin, Partner, Gober Group Hon. Michael T. Liburdi Moderator, Judge, United States District Court, District of Arizona Stephen I. Richer, County Recorder, Maricopa County Bradley Schrager, Attorney, Bravo Schrager LLP
