How To Support the Election Workforce in the 2022 Election

On this episode, we are joined by our Election Integrity Working Group, made up of Academy Fellows Nancy Tate,  Co-chair of the Women’s Vote Centennial Initiative, Mark Robbins, Interim Executive Director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission,  Barry Van Lare, an Independent Consultant of Management and Public Policy, and Edie Goldenberg, Professor of Public Policy and Political Science at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. They discuss the growing issue of disinformation regarding our electoral system, the rise in threats towards election workers, and what Fellows can do to uphold our country's electoral integrity.

This podcast episode was adapted from a webinar discussion that took place on September 29th. If you would like to watch the webinar, you can find it here.
