肯·库奇内利是保守派运动的长期核心人物。这位前弗吉尼亚州检察长、前特朗普政府官员，以其在移民问题上的极右立场、否认气候变化，以及在同性恋权利和同性婚姻等社会问题上的强硬保守立场而闻名。但最近，他已成为右翼推动更开放透明的选举程序以及投票限制措施的主要人物之一，批评者认为这些措施最终可能导致合法选民被剥夺投票权。
Ken Cuccinelli is a long-time fixture of the conservative movement. The former Virginia attorney general and former Trump official is known for his far-right views on immigration, his denial of climate change, and some very conservative positions on social issues like gay rights and same-sex marriage. But more recently he’s become one of the leading figures on the right pushing for a more open and transparent election process as well as voting restrictions that critics say could wind up disenfranchising legal voters.
“如果我们的选举官员愿意并准备好承认错误并加以纠正，我们对选举的信心会大大增强，”库奇内利说。“相反，他们往往试图否认错误的存在。” 随着中期选举临近，主持人阿尔·莱特森与库奇内利探讨了他为何认为加强投票限制是必要的、他是否相信关于2020年大选的谎言，以及为何他不支持特朗普总统提出的共和党人“接管”选举的建议。
“We could have a lot more confidence in our elections if our election officials would be ready to and willing to admit mistakes and to just fix them,” Cuccinelli says. “Instead, they oftentimes try to deny that they even exist.”As the midterms approach, host Al Letson talks with Cuccinelli about why he believes beefed-up voting restrictions are necessary, whether he believes the lies about the 2020 election, and why he doesn’t support President Trump’s proposal that Republicans “take over” the elections.
