MTM - Interview with Laura Scharr..New Developments in Election Integrity

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever wondered why election trust feels like it’s evaporating, this conversation gets specific fast. Dr. Jackson sits down with Laura Scharr of South Carolina Safe Elections to unpack election integrity concerns that range from voter registration roll accuracy to the security of election databases, electronic poll books, and machine tabulation. We talk through claims of non-citizens appearing on voter rolls, what that could mean for eligibility controls, and why transparency is the missing ingredient that keeps suspicion alive.We also dig into the policy battles shaping the next steps in election reform: executive orders calling for documentary proof of US citizenship to register, photo voter ID to vote, tighter procedures around mail-in ballots, and stronger voting system certification standards. Laura explains why the SAVE America Act is a flashpoint and why she wants a roll call vote that puts every senator on record. If you care about clean elections, secure elections, and voter eligibility rules, you’ll hear the arguments and the pressure points in plain language.Then we move from headlines to mechanics: what “tabulators” actually read, why barcode-based ballots raise concerns for some voters, and how redundant safeguards can improve confidence even before bigger reforms happen. Laura lays out a “bank teller approach” to elections: paper backups, independent verification, and robust hand-count audits that serve as a check on machines rather than blind faith in them.If this matters to you, subscribe, share this with a friend who argues about election security, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/
