Zuckerman vs Zuckerberg

July 14, 2024

Not everything will run perfectly on Election Day , but U.S. elections are remarkably reliable.

Elections are a foundation of democracy, but they're also human exercises that can sometimes appear messy.

It's a uniquely American system that, despite its imperfections, reliably produces certified outcomes that stand up to scrutiny.

High turnover in election offices is a concern in some presidential battlegrounds.

Ten of Nevada 's 17 counties had turnover among their clerk or registration positions.

Threats and harassment from those who believe election conspiracy theories have fueled the attrition.

“If you're looking for something to watch out for and be concerned about," professor says.
