There are people in communities big and small around the country who dedicate their working lives to making sure that if you’re an eligible voter, you get to cast a ballot.  


And their vital role in American democracy has gotten much harder in the last few years. 


Audie talks with Defiance County, Ohio Board of Elections director Tonya Wichman (https://www.boe.ohio.gov/defiance/about-us/) and Pennsylvania’s Secretary of the Commonwealth, Al Schmidt, (https://www.dos.pa.gov/about-us/Pages/Secretary-of-the-Commonwealth.aspx) about how they have experienced increased scrutiny, how they built dealing with harassment into their day-to-day work, and why they still do the job as many others in the field – fed up with fear – have walked away.
