Officials across the country are working overtime to ensure election day is a success

and the stakes are high. William Bringham has a closer look at the threats causing concern

William. Thanks, Amna.

From rampant disinformation, foreign adversaries trying to sow chaos,

ballot boxes set ablaze.

There are many bad actors trying to undermine our election process, but there's also an army of nonpartisan elections officials who are collecting ballots and pushing back, confident that this election, like the last, will be secure.

For a closer look at what we need to know in advance of Tuesday,

we are joined again by Juliet Chaim.

She's a former Assistant Secretary

at the Department of Homeland Security and

faculty chair of the Homeland Security program at Harvard's Kennedy School.

Juliet, so good to have you back on the program. You have been advising elections administrators around the country in the in the

lead up to Tuesday what is the mood like amongst them right now? It is nervous, but also no surprises. In other words, everyone has been

anticipating what we're now seeing going on, which is both a coordinated and ad hoc sort of attack on how we vote, where we vote, what we understand to be the truth in the information space.

And so this is not a surprise to them, but let's just be honest, the system wasn't built

for this, so they're they're adapting

and pivoting in real time. Let's talk about some of those different threats.

One of them has been physical attacks. We saw these ballot boxes lit on fire in the Pacific Northwest. We saw a man in Arizona shoot up a

DNC office. Again, not an election's office, but how are elections officials preparing for those kinds of physical so-called

kinetic attacks?

So that's their biggest concern because of course it is the get out the vote next Tuesday which has to be protected and you have lots of

volunteers lots of young people lots of old people and their physical safety is the most important.
