America Votes - The System Holds | Saints, Sinners, & Salvageables

And so the great election meltdown that was supposed to happen didn’t – across America this week, tens of millions of voters going about their business in a seemingly orderly fashion, with a decisive outcome favoring one presidential candidate and his party.

In this, the third of a four-part series on election integrity, Ben Ginsberg, the Hoover Institution’s Volker Distinguished Visiting Fellow and a preeminent authority on election law, joins Hoover distinguished policy fellow Bill Whalen to discuss how voting played out on Election Day in America – results that surprised Ben, how different systems and vote-counting processes held up in battleground states, plus what election reforms a new Congress might want to pursue in 2025 (translation: requiring identification, greater uniformity and addressing non-citizen voting).

Recorded on November 7, 2024.

ABOUT THE SERIES

"Saints, Sinners, & Salvageables: Restoring America's Faith in Voting" is a limited podcast series examining American elections - how they work, and how accurate they are at this time of unprecedented questioning about their reliability - from the Matters of Policy & Politics podcast series hosted by Hoover fellow Benjamin Ginsberg.

Why hasn’t anyone addressed the 13-16 million vote deficit from 2020 to 2024. Where did those voters go?
