Скачать или смотреть “Two Weeks in November: A Post-Election Scenarios Discussion” Panel

Truman hosted a discussion on how America should prepare for an election night without real-time results and clear winners. Much of the voting infrastructure will be unfamiliar and untested, cobbled together to make an election possible at all in a socially-distanced world. As a result of the expected record-setting numbers of mail-in ballots, official results may take weeks, laying waste to most American’s expectation for what a “normal” election looks like.

This period—known by international electoral observers as the counting period—is vulnerable to aggressive disinformation campaigns that will attempt to undermine the credibility of our elections and will be the lynchpin of whether November’s election is perceived as credible or not. The two weeks following the election will be ripe for chaos. In turn, that level of credibility may, for the first time in our lifetimes, determine whether there is a peaceful transfer of power in the United States.
