During a visit to the Pullman campus earlier this year, former Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman underlined the political divide as one of the chief issues facing the country heading into the 2024 Presidential Election.

“We’re living in one of most polarized times in our history,” Wyman said. “And that political division is creeping into perceptions about our elections.”

A recent Gallup poll found that while 84% of Democrats are confident that votes are counted accurately, just 28% of Republicans reported the same sentiment.

To meet this challenge, Wyman and her colleagues at the Bipartisan Policy Center are working to bring knowledge about the elections process and the steps taken to ensure results are timely and accurate.

With a tight presidential race and continuing misinformation about U.S. elections, Washington State University’s Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Service is part of a national effort to help educate and inform voters about the reliability of perhaps the most crucial part of democratic self-governing.

“Evidence shows that U.S. elections are among the safest and most secure in the world,” Cornell Clayton, director of the Foley Institute, said. “In the wake of the 2020 Presidential Election, more than 60 lawsuits as well as numerous recounts and audits found no evidence of widespread irregularity that could have changed the results.

He continued, “Despite this, election integrity has become a divisive partisan issue. Democracy is impossible if voters do not trust the electoral process, and that is why it is more critical than ever that we educate the public about ballot security and election integrity, and we work to increase the transparency in the administration of our elections.”

Some of the most important work, however, is being done at the local level, where elections workers answer questions and carry out their responsibilities despite rising threats against them.

Sandy Jamison, auditor for Whitman County, wants voters to see her and her fellow auditors across the state as a resource.

“I want people coming to me rather than relying on what they’ve heard at the coffee shop or saw on Facebook,” Jamison said.

Efforts to ensure the integrity of the elections process begin long before votes are counted.
