### Gerrymandering. Gutting the Voting Rights Act. Stealing voter data. Gaslighting us about election integrity.
Republicans seem determined to do everything possible to compromise the upcoming midterms—and future elections.
### The question is: What are we going to do about it?
Join us for a panel discussion on the safety of the voting process nationwide, as well as here in Massachusetts. Together, we will explore why US elections are safe, accurate, and fair—and why you should feel confident that your vote will count this November.
We are honored to host an illustrious panel including
– Austin Simko, Town Clerk, Andover
– Jonathan Cohn, Policy Director, [Progressive Mass](https://www.progressivemass.com/about/)
– Mirasol Santiago – Director of Policy and Organizing, [Mass Vote](https://www.massvote.org/about)
– Jose Gomez-Espinal, Assistant Professor of Political Science, UMass Boston
Feel free to submit questions along with your on-line registration or just bring your questions to the event itself.
