Election integrity is on the line, and two of the movement’s most effective leaders join Jenny Beth Martin to explain exactly how citizens win it state by state. Election integrity starts with one simple principle — only American citizens vote — and this episode lays out the full blueprint for getting there. Jenny Beth is joined by Sharon Bemis, president of the Election Integrity Network and a former Maine election official, and Sara Vieira, the network’s coalitions director and chair of the New England Coalition. Together they walk through the Citizens Election Bill of Rights, ten plain-language principles that define the gold standard for honest elections, and the brand-new EIN Model Laws Handbook that hands state legislators ready-to-use, plug-and-play legislation. The conversation gets specific: why the SAVE America Act is stalled in the Senate, how ranked choice voting complicates Maine elections, why so many noncitizens slip through the overseas voting system, the problem of bloated voter rolls and motor-voter loopholes, vulnerable voting technology and hand-marked paper ballots, and the billionaire-funded schemes — from Zuckbucks to the national popular vote compact — quietly reshaping how Americans vote. If you have ever wondered why basic voter ID feels impossible to pass, this episode is your roadmap. Call Capitol Hill at 202-224-3121 and tell your senators to pass the SAVE America Act.
