"Protecting Election Workers Amid Rising Threats in 2024"

They are also focusing on educating voters, debunking false information, and holding accountable those who try to disrupt the democratic process. This proactive approach reflects the challenges posed by ongoing attempts to undermine trust in America's elections, particularly in states that were battlegrounds in the last presidential election.
