How Can We Ensure A Fair And Safe Presidential Election?

Dilip Vishwanat for The New York Times
Voting booths at a polling station in St. Charles, Missouri.

  On this edition of Your Call, we're speaking with David Daley, author of the new book Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy.

In his last book, Ratf**ked, he exposed how Republican operatives rigged elections through gerrymandering. In his new book, he writes about how voters are fighting back. Still, he’s very concerned about the presidential election, given what we saw in Georgia. As many Americans plan to cast absentee ballots this November, how can we ensure a fair election? 

Guest:

David Daley, senior fellow for FairVote and author of Ratf**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy and Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy
