We are less than two weeks away from the election, and as people vote early, return mail-in ballots, or make their plan to hit the polls, some are concerned about election security. Committee of Seventy’s CEO explains what you need to know and where to get more information to feel secure as a voter. Plus, Andy Kim and Curtis Bashaw face off to replace Bob Menendez’s Senate seat in New Jersey, a new art installation gives Philadelphia a window into other cities, and River Line riders aired their grievances to NJ Transit.
