The country’s election infrastructure is in better shape heading into next month’s election than it has been for any previous event in modern history, according to the government official overseeing preparations.

“I think this is probably going to be the most secure election in the modern era because of the amount of work we’ve done with state and local election officials who are, by the Constitution, by law, responsible for administering elections, federal elections,” Christopher Krebs, undersecretary of the Department of Homeland Security’s National Protection and Programs Directorate, told PBS “Newshour” Thursday evening.
