Election administrators are on the front line of ensuring our elections are safe and fair this November. There is no one for who this is truer than for the Secretaries of State in the “swing states.” The vote margins in these states are expected to be small, and some people are already questioning the election’s integrity. Many Americans are concerned about what will happen when voting begins and what is being done to prepare. The Ash Center invites you to a discussion on October 1st at 12 PM with heads of elections, including Jocelyn Benson, Karen Brinson Bell, PMP, CERA, Adrian Fontes, and Al Schmidt, to hear about what they’ve been doing to ensure the election process is smooth and can be trusted.
