Restoring Trust in Our Elections Town Hall: What Conservatives and Liberals Agree On
July 25 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
* Local Focus: Western North Carolina
Conservatives and liberals distrust our electoral system for vastly different reasons—from voter fraud and election security to voter suppression and peaceful transfer of power. Leading up to the 2024 election, Braver Angels worked to rebuild this trust by seeking solutions supported by people across the political spectrum.
As a result of 26 workshops, 194 evenly-balanced Red and Blue participants produced a report finding 727 unanimous points of agreement across values, concerns, and solutions – distilled into three principles:
• “Voting should be easy. Cheating should be hard.”
• “Every citizen should have an equal say in who will govern them; this is done through free and fair elections.”
• “The American government will fail if candidates refuse to accept any outcome other than victory.”
This Braver Angels WNC town hall is free and open to the public. It will start by presenting the report’s 23 solutions, followed by small group discussions to determine which solutions you’d like to see implemented and then ways to take action. Whether you are “red”, “blue”, or something else altogether, we invite you to join the conversation.
