Protecting The Integrity Of Our Elections | Ep 182

Where are we as we head into the 2024 election? Derek Lyons is President of RITE (Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections). Jody Hice is a former Congressman from Georgia, his new book is called Sacred Trust: Election Integrity and the Will of the People.   In 2020 Democrats seemed to have an eerie foresight as to how COVID would affect upcoming elections while Republicans were trying to wrap their heads around the early stage of the pandemic. Jody recalls having federalized election hearings one week after COVID made landfall in the U.S. This led to an onslaught of hearings about election reforms that ended up being adopted in many states. In the wake of these reforms, Republicans have adopted a hyper vigilant attitude with actions to follow from organizations like RITE. They are answering the Left in court battles to protect the integrity of our elections and take election administrators to court when they decide they don't want to follow the rules. With only 22% of Republicans having high confidence in the upcoming presidential election, RITE has 35 cases in 17 states. As Jody gives first hand knowledge of his experience, Derek fills us in state by state with what's at stake. From voter ID, drop boxes, signature matches and early voting periods, each state has a unique battle to be won.
