Addressing Election Distrust
On the heels of a presidential election and at a time when doubt the legitimacy of the electoral process, we dive into election administration. How are votes cast and counted in New Jersey? What safeguards are in place to ensure accuracy? Why does it sometimes take so long to get results? Atlantic County Clerk Joe Giralo (R) and Atlantic County Board of Elections Commissioner Creed Pogue (D) join us to discuss all of this and more. These election officials aim to demystify the process, increase transparency, and instill confidence in local voters that our elections are secure. They also give their take on the outcome this November and what declining institutional trust means for the future of our democracy.
