E******n Day Is 165 Days Away.....Be AfraidCitizens need to get involved with their local e******ns to ensure a secure e******n in 2020.

No matter which side of the political debate you’re on, e******n security seems to be the issue of our time. Both sides accuse the other of trying to steal the next e******n. Ironically, it may be one of the few issues that both parties can agree on, but that’s where the agreement ends.
In this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, we talk with e******n expert Emily Levy about her organization, Scrutineers, and about some of the specific e******n security challenges that will dominate the next 165 days.
Levy gives us a primer on the many ways — both overt and covert — that bad actors may interfere with e******ns. She also discusses federal vs. local e******n laws, “black box v****g,” what it really means to audit e******n results, and why e******n officials’ assurances about the “logic and accuracy” of v****g procedures mean nothing. According to Levy, we shouldn’t fixate on “swing” states: only massive nationwide v**er turnout that produces an overwhelming and incontestable victory will prevent chaos the day after the e******n.
She reminds everyone that neither anxiety nor hope is a strategy — but by learning more, reaching out to local officials, and engaging in direct activism, anyone can make both a personal and political difference.
