There’s a lot at stake in the Georgia election case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 associates. But the most pressing case that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could hope to make with her prosecution is whether the legal system can protect our democracy and promote credible elections.

On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Georgia State University law professor Anthony Michael Kreis returned to the program to discuss the recent indictment of Trump and 18 of his allies for the alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

Professor Kreis also discusses how the indictments tie to the expectations of free and fair democratic elections, as well as what constitutional arguments may be used in the trial.
