Could there be a more contentious topic these days than election safety? Although the 2020 presidential election was widely praised by elections experts and top industry leaders as being the most secure in U.S. history, with record voter turnout to boot, many Americans continue to believe, without evidence, that our elections apparatus is susceptible to fraud. In an attempt to bring some civility to the discourse, Common Ground for Texans is hosting an online discussion by the National Issues Forums Institute called “Elections: How should we encourage and safeguard voting?” Saturday, Oct. 9, 2-4:30 p.m. Register for this online event here. Participants are encouraged to read this issue advisory from NIFI before attending the event.
