The Lawfare Podcast Special Edition: An "Election Meltdown" in Iowa
b'
The 2020 election cycle opened up with a dramatic failure, as the Iowa caucus was marred by a delayed announcement of the caucus results and an abundance of misinformation about its cause. It was a painful demonstration of the importance of election security and election infrastructure. We put together a special edition podcast to discuss what went wrong in Iowa and the factors that have increased mistrust in American elections. Benjamin Wittes interviewed Richard Hasen, an election-law expert and the author of \\u201cElection Meltdown: Dirty Tricks, Distrust, and the Threat to American Democracy.\\u201d The two talked about Hasen\\u2019s new book, about the flaws that can plague elections and about how to think about electoral legitimacy.\\xa0
