GAI Report Reveals 50 Election Integrity Threats in 2024

In the United States, a recent report from the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) has identified at least fifty threats to election integrity, particularly as the 2024 presidential election approaches. The report categorizes these threats into four main areas: dark money influence, lawfare operations, voter fraud, and election fraud. It highlights the importance of maintaining accurate voter rolls, noting that some states, like Michigan, have seen registration rates exceed 100%, indicating potential issues with deceased or ineligible voters still being on the rolls. The report also discusses how changes to voting rules during the COVID-19 pandemic may have compromised election security, with some states having since repealed or replaced these rules. This raises concerns about the integrity of the 2020 election outcome and poses risks for the upcoming election. The GAI report emphasizes the need for states to be diligent in cleaning their voter rolls and ensuring that only eligible voters are registered. Co-host Eric Eggers, who has previously authored a book on election fraud, points out that the responsibility for maintaining accurate voter registration lies with the voters themselves. However, systemic issues, such as double voting and fraudulent ballots, continue to be a concern, particularly in battleground states. The findings of the GAI report serve as a call to action for states to address these vulnerabilities and implement solutions to safeguard the electoral process, ensuring that elections are conducted fairly and transparently.
