Summary

We’re officially in the presidential election season. The issue of election integrity is deeply contentious with strong arguments on both sides.

We’ll examine why the reliability of our voting system is being questioned. We’ve heard everything from claims of fraud to calls for reform. We’ll dig into how much is fact vs fear, and what’s being done to ensure the integrity of our election process. Republican guests will share details of the RNC’s massive effort to monitor voting. Guests from the left downplay widespread election/voter fraud. Both sides are preparing for a contested postelection, with voter confidence and the fairness of election results at stake. Whether you’re on the right, the left, or somewhere in between, the integrity of our elections affects all of us. Join us for the conversation America needs to have—right here, right now.
