Description
In 2020 the global pandemic served as the backdrop for manipulation to occur in two of the world’s most free and fair electoral systems – namely South Korea and the United States. Allegations included misconduct in nearly every phase of the electoral process, along with media cover-up aided and abetted by Big Tech, and foreign interference and judicial negligence.
As public trust in our electoral systems erodes, how can we strengthen and secure electoral infrastructure – both physical and procedural? How can leaders take measures to re-instill integrity and transparency? And what are the implications of a ‘tainted’ electoral system on a nation’s overall national security?
On June 29th, we will convene a panel of electoral experts, lawyers, and scholars to consider the reforms and measures needed to protect the sanctity of future elections. The discussion will consider as case studies the 2020 South Korean and US elections but will look forward and propose constructive solutions to improving electoral integrity. With the current audit of the 2020 election ballot in Arizona’s Maricopa County sparking increased interest in election audits across the country, interest in electoral integrity has never been higher. This virtual discussion comes at a timely moment.
