The League of Women Voters of Boulder County is inviting residents to join a Tuesday night virtual conversation about election security.
The 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday program — “Election Security: How Colorado’s Gold-Standard Election System Works, and Why Voters Can Trust Election Results” — is to include presentations by Hilary Rudy, the Colorado Department of State’s deputy elections director, and Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Molly Fitzpatrick, according to a League of Women Voters announcement of the event.
“Elections are one of the most fundamental elements of our democracy. Mistrust in election systems — exacerbated by misinformation and disinformation about the 2020 national election — may erode trust or reduce engagement in the voting process itself. Fortunately, Colorado is recognized nationally as having a gold-standard election system and a high voting rate. Locally, Boulder County’s election system has many positive features to ensure accuracy and accountability,” the League said in a news release.
With Election Day rapidly approaching Nov. 2, the League said, “this event will enable Boulder County residents to learn about our state and local election systems, ask questions of officials overseeing these systems, and help build trust and confidence in the voting process.”.
People can register on the League of Women Voters of Boulder County website, lwvbc.org, to receive the Zoom link for the meeting.
