2026 Election Security Briefing--Keeping Voters and Ballots Safe

What are the real risks of political violence in North Carolina—and how are they being managed? Join us for a Lunch & Learn webinar with Tom Baker IV, a leading expert working within the state’s election safety and threat monitoring infrastructure, next Wednesday, May 13 beginning at noon (the Zoom webinar will open at 11:45 AM with a waiting room).

Tom will draw on more than 15 years of experience—from supporting elections overseas to advising U.S. election security efforts—to explain how threats are identified and defused, what trends are emerging, and why our voting systems remain secure in North Carolina.

Get a grounded, behind-the-scenes look at how North Carolina is responding in a time of heightened tension and how our state can be prepared for issues of political violence before November's general elections.
