The Catholic Lawyers Guild of Chicago invites you to attend “Election 2024:
Misinformation, Truth, and the Future” a talk by William Kresse on Thursday, October 24 via Zoom.

The last several presidential election cycles have been marred by misinformation and disinformation, leading to historically low voter confidence in our election system, and contributing to low voter turnout. Where can one find the truth about the American election system, and how can attorneys help in disseminating the truth? What ideas are on the horizon to reassure voters about the election system, revive confidence and increase turnout? Chicago Election Commissioner and Professor of Accounting and Fraud Examination, Bill Kresse, will be sharing his thoughts on these timely topics.
