Amid claims of a “rigged” election, we're looking at the process Florida elections officials follow to ensure equipment and practices are secure at the polls.

We'll also look at elections in Florida's past, and the changes to the voting process (from early voting to a shift from touch screen to paper ballots) to make it more secure. We'll also discuss what's involved with poll watching on Election Day.

Guests:

  • Jennifer Edwards, Collier County Supervisor of Elections
  • Dr. Roger Green, FGCU Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science and Public Administration
  • Betty Parker, political columnist with the Fort Myers News-Press
