Social Justice Lecture 2024

Social Justice Lecture 2024

Election integrity is the core concern of any democracy. Citizen oversight of elections is paramount, and in healthy democracies voters share concerns about election processes, calling attention to malfeasance, raising questions about suspicious events, and calling power to account. At the same time, propagandists can flood the discourse environment with cheap, misrepresented, or fabricated evidence, making it difficult to distinguish real threats from counterfeit ones.
