  • Examining Recent Efforts to Undermine Future Elections
    Date: July 30, 2025
    Location: Online
    Category: Webinar

    Please join the Center for Election Innovation & Research for a webinar, “Examining Recent Efforts to Undermine Future Elections.” CEIR Executive Director David Becker will discuss steps taken at the federal and state levels that appear to lay the groundwork for preemptively disrupting future elections or improperly challenging legitimate election outcomes. Those steps include President Trump’s March executive order on elections, which is now largely enjoined, and the Justice Department’s reported discussions about bringing criminal charges against election officials. David will explain how these efforts to sow distrust in elections come as the administration’s policies have targeted crucial resources for election systems.
