With less than two months to go until Election Day, and with former President Donald Trump continuing to repeat baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen, the issue of election integrity will likely remain at the forefront of many voters’ minds.
Election officials from seven battleground states convened in Atlanta last week to compare notes and prepare for Election Day. Four of them — one Democrat and three Republicans — spoke with CBS News about the stress and anxiety of their jobs, and also their conviction that elections are conducted freely and fairly.
Asked what emotion this year’s election fills him with, Republican Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer for Georgia’s office of secretary of state, said, “I feel like it should be joy, but there’s some angst.”
