Program

Voting is well underway in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. From the logistical hurdles of conducting an election during a global pandemic to ongoing risks of foreign meddling and disinformation campaigns, this year’s election will be unlike any other in recent history.

The Pardee RAND Graduate School is pleased to convene this virtual discussion on election security. Harper Reed, who served as chief technology officer for Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, will join Pardee RAND faculty member Quentin Hodgson and fellow Bilyana Lilly to explore the greatest threats to election security. They will describe what RAND research shows and what federal and state governments can and should be doing to prepare for election day and beyond. We invite you to join the conversation on the pressing and ever-changing dynamics of election 2020.
