Common Issues and Misinformation Among Military Voters

Host: Jennifer Barnhill, Partners in PROMISE
Guest: Janessa Schilmoeller, Secure Families Initiative

Military-affiliated voters across political parties have lost confidence in the American electoral process, and many have questions about whether their votes actually count. A researcher shares the latest findings of the Secure Families Initiative’s voting participation survey and discusses why misinformation – and even disinformation – may be at play. 

 

“Over 50 percent – so, I think almost 53 percent of respondents – said that they had experienced barriers or challenges to voting.”
