Election fraud rhetoric 'dangerous,' Meredith professor says
Meredith College political science professor David McLennan says talk of election fraud and illegitimate vote counts undercuts the foundation of democracy.
YOU CAN FIND THE WORK ONLINE. >>> WE HAVE SEEN SOME REPUBLICANS BACK THE PRESIDENT AND SOME KEY NAMES HAVE REMAINED SILENT. WHY DO YOU THINK MORE REPUBLICAN AREN'T STEPPING UP? >> THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN MAKING THESE CLAIMS REALLY SINCE 2016 AND FOR MANY REPUBLICANS, IT DOESN'T HURT THEM. >> SO FOR THOSE BACKING THE PRESIDENT THERE, WHAT IMPACT DOES THIS HAVE ON VOTER' PERCEPTION OF OUR VOTING SYSTEM? >> I THINK SHORT-TERM IT HAS DANGEROUS EFFECTS. WE HAVE SEEN THE PROTESTS ON THE STREET, PEOPLE ON THE BOARDS OF ELECTIONS BEING THREATENED. BUT I THINK IN THE LONG-TERM, IT UNDERCUTS THE VALUE OF OUR SYSTEM, WHICH IS BASED ON TRUST. TWO YEARS AGO OR FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, PEOPLE WILL FORGET THE DETAILS BUT WILL SAY THERE WAS FRAUD. THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL WORKERS IN THE COUNTY AND STATE LEVEL. WE HAVE LAWS THAT ARE VERY CLEAR, AND THEY ARE PUNISHABLE BY FINES AND EVEN IMPRISONMENT IF BROKEN, SO I THINK WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT'S VERY SOUND. VOTER IN NORTH CAROLINA SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT THE LEGITIMACY OF THE SYSTEM. >> QUICK QUESTION, DO YOU THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER AS THE MEDIA OR AS THE STATE TO INFORM HOW PROCESS WORKS, ESPECIALLY UNDER THE PANDEMIC? >> WELL, I THINK MAY BELIEVE TALKING ABOUT ASSIST PROCESS MORE WOULD HAVE HELPED. WE HAVE REALLY UNTIL THE 24th
