Think of some of the biggest events you held every year - the Super Bowl, Coachella, New York Marathon. Event organizers spend the entire year making sure every detail is perfect. That's the life of Directors of Elections - the people who make sure the process of voting is secure and runs smoothly.

Elections are a major operation - and we're not talking about the candidates. Maintaining proper voter lists, setting up polling precincts, and ensuring safe and secure voting are just at the surface of a massive operation to run the logistics and moving parts of elections.

Running safe, smooth, and accurate elections is a big job, and it takes a village. We sat down with Colorado Director of Elections Judd Choate to learn more about the ins and outs of his work. We also gained some insight on election integrity and what it means for election officials.

Finally, we reflected on how COVID-19 forced many states to completely overhaul how their elections are run within six months, and how this will effect election structure in future years.

After the break, Dan, Jane, and Ellie reflect on a momentous election season. Youth have spoken, and they've chosen to be voters.
