American voters head to the polls to choose the country’s next leaders in a mass democratic experiment where tens of millions of votes will be cast without incident, CNN reports.
Election officials across the US — particularly in swing states — have pledged to uphold the integrity of the vote and urged voters not to be misled by conspiracy theories.
“Here in Georgia, it is easy to vote and hard to cheat,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said yesterday. “Our systems are secure and our people are ready.”
The 2024 election has already featured allegations from Trump and other Republicans that the vote is “rigged.”
Trump has made repeated false claims that Democrats are cheating in the election, and he’s twisted isolated problems with voting in an effort to prime his supporters to believe the election is not legitimate if he loses.
