Fortifying Elections Against Abuse of Power: Bipartisan Wins and Promising Progress

The drumbeat of threatening news about our elections seems unstoppable—and it can crowd out good ideas and important progress on fortifying elections against threats today and into the future.  

In this special briefing, ERN Executive Director Kevin Johnson and Vice President of Programs Heather Balas were joined by Utah State Senator Mike McKell and former Pierce County, Washington Auditor Julie Anderson to discuss critical topics including:

• Key vulnerabilities in election governance that create risks of abuse of power.
• New research revealing the partisan pressures on election officials, and how officials are responding.
• Practical solutions: How states and localities are advancing innovative solutions to fortify elections.
• Success stories: Recent wins that show that reform is possible, and often bipartisan.
