Intro

On Tuesday, November 5th, the final ballots will be cast in the 2024 US presidential election. But the process is far from over. How prepared are social media platforms for the post-election period? What should we make of characters like Elon Musk, who is actively advancing conspiracy theories and false claims about the integrity of the election? And what can we do going forward to support election workers and administrators on the frontlines facing threats and disinformation? To help answer these questions, Justin Hendrix spoke with three experts:

• Katie Harbath, CEO of Anchor Change and chief global affairs officer at Duco Experts;
• Nicole Schneidman, technology policy strategist at Protect Democracy; and
• Dean Jackson, principal of Public Circle LLC and a reporting fellow at Tech Policy Press.
