Please join the Center for Constitutional Governance in conversation with Julian E. Zelizer and Karen J. Greenberg about their new book, Our Nation at Risk: Election Integrity as a National Security Issue.

In recent years, the sight of gun-wielding citizens patrolling ballot boxes and voting sites has become increasingly familiar. Major news corporations parroting false claims of election fraud, ballot stuffing, and faulty voting systems is the new normal. In an era of global anti-democratic movements, the sanctity of democratic electoral processes has become a major national security concern, and the need to protect elections from foreign interference, disinformation, voter intimidation, and the danger of election results being overturned, are now front and center. How did we get here? And more importantly, how will this affect the future of democracy?

Karen J. Greenberg is the Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law.
