The Election Needs Oversight

Dan Coats, who served as President Trump’s director of national intelligence, writes in the New York Times that “every conceivable effort” must be taken to safeguard November’s election from claims of illegitimacy.

“Our democracy’s enemies, foreign and domestic, want us to concede in advance that our voting systems are faulty or fraudulent… If those are the results of this tumultuous election year, we are lost, no matter which candidate wins. No American, and certainly no American leader, should want such an outcome.”
