PSA Video: Increasing Trust in our Election System

A Message from Law Enforcement, Military Leaders, and Election Officials

Threats against election officials and their families happen in war-torn countries–not in America. The Committee for Safe and Secure Elections (CSSE) released a series of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) featuring voices from across America to help drive this point home. If you haven’t already seen the videos, check out the version below or see others on our YouTube channel @cssesafelections.

The videos feature retired military leaders, law enforcement officers, and election officials, speaking in one unified voice. Notable voices include U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Marty France (Ret.); U.S. Army Lieutenant General Ronald Burgess (Ret.); Carly Koppes, County Clerk and Recorder from Weld County, Colorado; Wannicha (“Ike”) Rojanapradith, Director of Elections and General Registrar from Fairfax, VA; and CSSE members Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes and Michigan State Police Captain Harold Love (Ret.)

With less than a month until the General Election, these individuals are sharing a message of trust in election officials. They are calling on every citizen to do their part towards an orderly and peaceful election season, including rejecting threats directed towards them and their families. We appreciate you taking the time to listen to them.

The Committee for Safe and Secure Elections features cross-partisan experts in election administration and law enforcement who aim to support policies and practices that protect election workers and voters from violence, threats and intimidation. Ready to take the next step? Get involved!
