Election administrators were once invisible to the general public. Despite the unbelievable challenges and desperate attempts to disrupt and upend the 2020 election, they pulled off the most secure election in our history; and they did it amidst a global pandemic.
No Time To Fail gives voice to the experiences of this largely invisible, yet completely indispensable workforce, at this critical time in our country’s relationship with election management.
Filmmaker, Margo Guernsey will discuss the making of No Time to Fail and her recent Times Studio productions, The Officials, which positions election workers in rural and urban centers as defenders of democracy.
