Justin Levitt emphasizes that the election process is fundamentally about voters deciding the outcome, countering alarming narratives about hidden legal tactics that undermine democracy.
Levitt critiques the 'electoral process porn' genre, highlighting how it cultivates a sense of helplessness among voters, suggesting their participation may be futile or overridden.
This type of reporting tends to focus on sensational scenarios rather than providing an accurate portrayal of the electoral process, misleading readers in the process.
Analyses that depict elections as manipulable often resemble dystopian fiction, and they feed on public anxiety about the sanctity and efficacy of democratic processes.
