Episode notes

A lot of Americans don't think about elections as a one-day event. So the challenge is how do you kind of restore people's trust in elections when they don't trust it? Some part of America at this point won't be reached by election officials, and they'll never believe we have free elections. It's the race for election officials of both parties to reach the rest of Americans who just don't Think About Elections all that much.

A quartet of 2020 election deniers are running for secretary of state this year in key swing states, raising questions about whether they could fairly administer the 2024 presidential election.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, fact-checked by Victoria Dominguez and Serena Solin, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and edited by Matt Collette and Noel King, who also hosted.
