As voting begins, threats to ballot security loom larger. CU Denver’s School of Public Affairs is hosting a public event October 25th featuring election administration officials and academic experts on the dangers of disinformation, misinformation and ongoing threats to a fair and secure election.

Colorado’s 63 elected Clerks and Recorders are the state’s election officials on the front line. They have been given the important responsibility of administering local, state, and federal elections and ensuring they are safe, fair and accurate. However, since the 2020 election, the job has become the focus of a significant amount of misinformation, disinformation and threats of interference.

Discussing misinformation and election security will be:

Deserai Anderson Crow, professor, School of Public Affairs
Matt Crane, Director of the Colorado County Clerk’s Association, former Arapahoe County Clerk

The early evening event will begin at 5:30 pm at the downtown Denver Campus.

Check out the CU Denver School of Public Affairs’ website for more information and register today to attend the discussion (in person or virtually) here.
