As the dust settles from the 2020 elections, one thing is clear: 2020 was a year like no other. And election administrators were integral to how the democratic process played out, from their roles in engaging voters to countering misinformation coming out on social media to their countless appearances on political TV shows. Many of these individuals on the frontlines of our elections are women whose commitment to democracy ensured our elections could take place in the middle of a global health crisis.
Watch this recording of the powerful Facebook LIVE discussion on December 8, 2020, with some of the nation’s leading election administrators. LWVUS’ Chief Executive Officer Virginia Kase will sit down with Florida Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee, New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way, and Carol Hill Williams, Chair of Mecklenburg County Board of Elections for a one-hour discussion about how these women tackled their significant professional responsibilities with integrity and grace. They respond to questions about the challenges they faced this year and how they were able to overcome them, as well as aspects of this election cycle that are critical to our democracy moving forward.
