Zero Trust: How to Secure American Elections When the Losers Won’t Accept They Lost
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this report, we outline three exigent threats to election processes following the events of the 2020 general election. Then, we provide 11 targeted recommendations to best address these threats in preparation for the 2022 midterm elections and beyond. This report reflects months of interviews with election officials from around the country and across the political spectrum. An oral history and compendium of videos from these interviews is available online. Their stories inform our recommendations to improve the security of our elections and, critically, to shore up voter confidence in their outcome.
