America’s secretaries of state – the people who often serve as our states’ chief elections officials – are on the frontlines of administering fair elections and protecting our sacred right to vote. Join us in the Forum for a discussion with Republican Brad Raffensperger, secretary of state of Georgia, and Democrat Natalie Tennant, IOP resident fellow and former secretary of state of West Virginia, for a post-midterms conversation on the integrity of our electoral system and threats to our democracy. CNN Senior Political Correspondent Abby Phillip ‘10, a member of the Institute of Politics Senior Advisory Committee, will moderate the conversation.
