Join us for a moderated Civil Disagreements program featuring informed perspectives on election security, voting access, public trust, and the integrity of our elections!
Free and fair elections depend on both secure election systems and public confidence in their results. Yet Americans continue to disagree about the nature and extent of the threats facing our elections, the effectiveness of existing safeguards, and whether proposed reforms would strengthen election integrity or make it more difficult for eligible voters to participate.
How secure are elections in the United States today? Which risks deserve the greatest attention, from voter fraud and foreign interference to cybersecurity threats, misinformation, and challenges facing election workers? Do measures such as voter identification requirements, expanded mail-in voting, improved auditing procedures, and updated voting technology protect the democratic process, undermine access, or accomplish some combination of both?
Moderator:
Alisa Kaplan, Executive Director, Reform for Illinois
Panelists:
Noah Praetz, President, Ready for Tuesday
June Brown, Chicago Board of Elections
Anthony Vega, Lake County Clerk
Elizabeth Yang, President, WStrong LLC
