Ellen Kurz on Increasing Voter Participation and Securing Democracy

 

In the third episode of our special Freedoms At Stake 2022 Election Series, host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan talks with President and Founder of iVote Ellen Kurz. They discuss the critical role secretaries of state play in our democracy and why iVote’s work to elect pro-voting secretaries of state is so important. Ellen also talks about how disinformation is affecting these races across the nation and the potential consequences if an election denier is appointed to oversee future elections. These down-ballot races have never been more important, and Ellen highlights the battleground states iVote is prioritizing this election cycle. Listen for more on how pro-voting measures like automatic voter registration and same day voting can increase participation in our democratic process.
