Election Day is nearly here and the US government's chief election security official, CISA director Jen Easterly, says the nation's voting system has never been more secure. But do voters believe her, or has perception trumped reality? And later, Putin hits the streets of NYC to chat with some Trump supporters ahead of his MSG rally.

As Americans head to the polls, election officials face the dual challenge of safeguarding both the voting process and public confidence in it, with foreign adversaries and domestic actors ready to exploit any lingering doubts about election integrity. On Ian Explains, ‪@Ian_Bremmer‬ discusses the roots of Americans’ mistrust in the security of their votes, even though election systems are indeed secure.
