HR1 / S1 is the most ambitious election reform legislation in years.

• But what are critics on the left and the right saying?
  
• What specifically does it do to improve election security?
  
• Are there provisions that are actually risky?
  
• Can it be changed and how?
  
• Will it pass - and how?

Our guests:

Green Party Presidential Candidate Howie Hawkins joins us to discuss his concerns that the HR1 / S1's public campaign finance proposal is broken and misleading. In an upcoming article in CounterPunch he charges that the program, "merely adds a token patina of new public money on top of the swelling ocean of private campaign spending."

Sue Becker, Litigation Counsel, joined the Conservative Public Interest Legal Foundation in 2019. She has litigated election and constitutional law in Kansas, where she served as Senior Counsel to former Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, from 2017-2019. The Public Interest Legal Foundation has listed their concerns about HR1 on their website.
