President Donald Trump is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, continuing to press an issue that resulted in an attack on the U.S. Capitol and his impeachment, but remains a central preoccupation. “Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed,” Trump wrote on social media June 20. Trump’s efforts to challenge his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden failed in court. Independent reviews and leading members of his own administration dismissed his fraud claims.

News headlines often scream about how much is spent on elections in America, but those news stories focus on the campaign side of the coin. Very little news is ever generated on how much it actually costs state and local officials to administer an election.
Time and time again, the diverse system of conducting elections in the United States – created by the various states and their local jurisdictions – has reflected the will of their voters and promoted the peaceful transfer of power at the federal, state, and local level. Yet, this system is complex and under historic stress. Election administrators continually lack sufficient budgets, adequate staffing, and modernized equipment. Moreover, they face ever-increasing public scrutiny and waning trust in voting results.
