2024 Election Threats: Hungover yet still at the Bar
Description:
We'll provide an assessment of the most pressing threats to the integrity of the 2024 elections. We’ll discuss how individuals, tech platforms & other sectors of society can work to mitigate them. What have the primaries & elections told us so far? What threats since 2020 still remain? How have they evolved? What new tools & tactics, have AI, have emerged that were not a factor before? How might elections face challenges different from the past? What should voters, officials, journalists, & platforms be paying attention to & how can they make a difference?
