Kathy Boockvar was recently interviewed by the Washington Post about anticipated threats to the election this fall, in Pennsylvania and nationally. She spoke about her experiences as PA Secretary of State, as well as potential certification and other legal issues that could arise this cycle. Kathy expressed that more than anything else, she is worried about the human impact of the disinformation, incitement of threats against election officials and others, and undercutting of trust that has exploded in the last four years.
“I worry a lot about the disinformation that, no matter how this plays out, is going to be rampant,” she said. “It’s so much easier to spread disinformation than it is to explain all the ways that the incorrect information is wrong. Combined with this very angry, stressed environment that we’re living in right now, it’s such a fraught time to be having a major election in.”
