Rick Hasen gives four reasons for increasing distrust in our election system in his new book, Election Meltdown:
- Voter suppression has escalated as a Republican tool aimed to depress turnout of likely Democratic voters, fueling suspicion;
- Pockets of incompetence in election administration—often in large cities controlled by Democrats—have created an opening to claims of unfairness;
- Old-fashioned and new-fangled dirty tricks, including foreign and domestic misinformation campaigns via social media, threaten electoral integrity; and
- Inflammatory rhetoric about “stolen” elections supercharges distrust among hardcore partisans.
