We’re taking a deep look into one of the most significant elections of our lifetime with the nonpartisan, veteran-led group, “Vet the Vote” which recently recruited over 163,000 veterans to volunteer at election sites nationwide.

Army veteran, VTV Deputy Director Loren Westerfield and Navy helicopter pilot veteran, Julie Hendricks share the impact veterans make while serving at election sites.

And as social media explodes (again) with baseless allegations of voter fraud as users post claims of evidence through short video clips with minimal context and a rising sense of skepticism, we take a detailed look at their personal experiences serving as poll workers. Plus we hear what kind of safeguards and methods they witnessed to ensure American elections are fair and free from any tampering.

Ultimately, we seek to answer one of the biggest questions today, “Are these elections safe, accurate and reliable?”

Our veteran guests deliver fascinating and powerful answers.
