In what is poised to be one of the most consequential presidential elections in modern history, elections officials are doing all they can to assure voters their ballots are safe and secure.

In Ottawa County, Clerk Justin Roebuck has been teaming up with Keep Our Republic, a nonpartisan civic education organization putting on events nationwide to share reliable, accurate election integrity information.

Since the 2016 presidential cycle, election integrity has become a politically contentious issue, with allegations of Russian interference. That evolved into allegations of voter fraud coming from far-right conservative groups after then-President Donald Trump lost his reelection bid in 2020 to Joe Biden. …

“We definitely get a lot of questions about trust in the voter process … questions about how we can trust that noncitizens are not on the voting rolls, questions that talk through the ballot imaging feature as well as the ability for challengers to sort of stand behind us and view the election results process where we put in encrypted flash drives into our secure computer”
