Although fewer than one in five voters live in rural areas, more than two-thirds of election officials live and work in these same areas.

Professors Cameron Wimpy and Will McLean explore these questions with an examination of election administration in the Lower Mississippi Delta and will describe their findings with moderator Judd Choate, Colorado Elections Director.
