Back to EpisodesEpisode 10 | Election Day, Election Integrity
Description
Our hosts, law professor Ilan Wurman and Kathryn Johnson, devote their episode to election integrity and the meaning of "election day." Does a federal "election day" preempt state laws providing that ballots can still be received days after the election? Is someone "elected" once the final selection is made by the voters, or when those selections are transmitted to election officials? Or perhaps it's only when the count is done? Our hosts penetrate this thicket of possibilities, and discuss the surprising history of the uniform election day -- voter fraud! Our hosts explore the "great frauds" that were committed in the Election of 1840, how Congress responded, and how many election laws exist to prevent opportunities for fraud. Our hosts also break down some recent legal immigration news -- including what it means to "arrive in" the United States for purposes of seeking asylum -- before tying the topics together with their guest, Mateo Forero from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, who talks about FAIR's blockbuster report on the connection between illegal immigration policies and proven instances of voter fraud.
