The Erosion of Trust in America's Election System | Trevor Potter (2022)

"It is the former president and Republican Party leaders who have created the mistrust of our election system that they now say they have to respond to."
Trevor Potter explores the growing mistrust in the legitimacy of elections in the United States, fueled by conspiracy theories and political rhetoric. Potter highlights the dangerous consequences these claims have on the election process, from local officials refusing to certify results to new voting laws, including in Georgia, aimed at restricting access to the ballot. With democracy at stake, Potter asks critical questions about voter suppression, political polarization, and the future of free and fair elections in America.
