Welcome to Keepers of the Republic, a new podcast from Keep Our Republic that takes listeners inside the institutions at the heart of American democracy. 

Through thoughtful conversations with election officials, county clerks, legal experts, and retired federal judges, we explore how elections are really run, discuss why an independent judiciary is essential to a strong republic, and separate fact from fiction in a fast-changing world. 

Today, Executive Director Ari Mittleman sits down with Lisa Tollefson, County Clerk in Rock County, WI.  Ari and Lisa discuss the trials and joys of administering elections in a deeply purple state and dispel some common election-day myths.
