that elects its election officials, and one of the very few to allow high-ranking party members to lead election administration.have shown both local Democratic and Republican chief election officials acted in impartial ways.that trust in this important office—often in charge of running and certifying elections of their local, state, and national leaders—may be eroding.

They can refuse to certify the results of an election, triggering a governor or courts to become involved. They influence which issues become ballot measures and how they are described, and they can decertify voting machines.
"This election season raises questions, and exposes flaws, about how senior election officials are selected in the U.S.," Reilly added."The platforms of these election deniers who appeared on the 2022 midterm ballot illustrate the risk that this dynamic poses to ongoing voter trust and future election results."
