Bradley A. Smith is a professor of law at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio. An authority on election law and campaign finance, he served between 2000 and 2005 as commissioner, vice chairman, and then chairman of the Federal Election Commission, in a seat designated for a Republican.
Mr. Smith believes that declining trust in elections is a serious threat to the nation’s democracy, and he says that Democrats are to some extent to blame for this decline, as well as Republicans.
“People think, oh well, this will just go away, or it’s just because of what is called the ‘big lie’ [former President Donald Trump’s false claim the election was stolen],” he says. “I think it’s a deeper and broader problem.”
