Strengthening Trust in Our Elections_ A Conversation with the Democracy Defense Project

Published | Video Starts at 27:23

And I said, well, tell that to our candidate for auditor General and our candidate for state treasurer because they both lost. And only Josh Shapiro was the only Democrat to survive the election for Attorney general at the time. And so if we fix the ballot, we did a pretty poor job of fixing the ballot. (27:23–27:40)
