Free and Fair Elections with Tate Fall, Director of Elections for Cobb County Georgia
Manage episode 411285159 series 2986131
I am a proud voting American. From local, national, primary, or general, I never miss my opportunity to participate in my civic duty and cherished right to vote. I love the process of going to my polling precinct and casting my ballot. I slap that sticker on my chest and walk around all day with pride, knowing that instead of choosing to do nothing, I chose to vote. And I believe, that my vote is counted. It may not win, but it is always counted.
But I am aware that I may be in the minority who believes that my vote is counted.
In January 2024, Data for Progress found that 43% of likely voters are either not confident at all or only a little confident in the security of elections. That percentage rises to 50% if you only look at registered Independents and rises to 69% if you only look at registered Republicans.
That is a lot of Americans who do not trust the security of our elections!
I wanted to learn more about the election process. To see if there is a reason to not trust the system, or to see if this growing mistrust is fueled by misinformation.
My guest this week is Tate Fall, Director of Elections for Cobb County Georgia. She guides me through the history and process of administering elections, shares how much elections have changed through the years, and dispels some of the most common myths about voter fraud. This is a conversation you are not going to want to miss.
Tate Fall currently serves as the Director of Elections for Cobb County. She has previously served as the Deputy Director of Elections for Arlington County, VA, a Communications Specialist for the United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC), and as a Voting Rights Advocate for Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program. Tate has her B.S. in Rehabilitation and Disability Studies, a Master of Public Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Election Administration all from Auburn University.
