The cochairs of the Academy commission that produced Our Common Purpose, with its recommendations for strengthening democracy in America, have issued a statement in advance of the midterm elections.
In recognition that free, fair, and participatory elections are essential to self-governance, Danielle Allen, Stephen Heintz, and Eric Liu warn of threats to the election process and advise how to address them by protecting election workers, countering election denialism, ensuring the professional integrity of election administration, and resisting efforts to make voting harder.
