In this episode of the "Backbone" Podcast, Representative Jermaine Johnson, now in his third term, talks about needed election reform. He is the primary sponsor of three bills dealing with the issue. Rep. Johnson discusses his bill to make it illegal to use deceptive deep fake media in political campaigns to mislead and confuse voters. He has also introduced the Election Official Protection Act to address verbal and physical harassment of poll workers. Rep. Johnson also wants to give municipalities another method of electing local officials. Instant runoff voting would enable cities to have majority-vote winners without the need for costly runoffs. This election method also encourages voter participation.
