We are dedicated to bipartisan election education. President Ford's son Mike Ford, along with several election experts, are offering their 7th webinar in the Election Overtime series. New data illustrates that voters remain significantly misinformed about key election procedures. Preventing post-election political violence remains a key priority for experts and voters alike.
