Despite a pandemic that reached every precinct, city, and state in the middle of a presidential election, election officials in 2020 delivered the highest-turnout election in American history. Featuring Rhode Island Director of Elections Rob Rock, Weld County, Colorado Clerk Carly Koppes, MIT's Charles Stewart, and CEIR's David Becker.

The Unstoppable Vote is a documentary podcast from The Center for Election Innovation & Research about a nearly invisible part of American democracy: the resilience of elections and the people who run them in the face of disaster. When elections run smoothly, as they almost always do, it doesn't mean nothing went wrong. It means trained professionals prepared, adapted, and performed despite the disruptions that inevitably occur.
