The conversation was part of the latest episode of GZERO World with Ian Bremmer. The episode begins airing nationally in the US on public television this Friday, October 30. Check local listings.
"No election is conducted perfectly, and elections have all kinds of problems.We're going to have more problems because we're running an election during a pandemic." Election law expert Rick Hasen cautions that both campaigns could misconstrue honest mistakes in the administration of this week's national election as nefarious acts. The integrity of the election, he warns, could be compromised by human error and the unprecedented challenges posed by a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. Hasen's especially concerned about key states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. His conversation with Ian Bremmer is part of the latest episode of GZERO World.

Let's wait and see.
<p><strong>What's going to be the impact of Ukraine's local election for President Zelensky and his policies?</strong></p><p>The local election was undoubtedly a major setback for President Zelensky and his party, and there has been a number of them. He has sort of lost the momentum that he had a year ago, and that has been obvious also in the anti-corruption efforts. So, he needs to rapidly regain momentum, in my opinion. Let's see what happens.</p>
