Episode notes

The voting machines that they're called BMDs, ballot marking devices, ATM screen ballot comes out has a little QR code that gets read by the computer. There's actually a lawsuit in Georgia where Georgia has these machines and they're fighting over whether or not these machines create problems in terms of potential hacking. So I like that it keeps a paper ballot. Paper is absolutely essential. Yes. But the question is whether the, you know, if you're going to count not the votes that are written, you print it on there, but the code,. yeah, that creates from on your broader question of democracy.

We consider democracy a fundamental American value, but the reality is that we haven't been truly democratic for as long as our country has existed. Not only is the right to vote not constitutionally protected, but it also faces constant attacks from anti-democratic campaigns funded by billionaires, aiming to make voting more difficult. This week, Adam is joined by Rick Hasen, a UCLA professor of law, to uncover the genuine threats to elections and explore potential solutions. Find Rick's book at factually.com/books
