So is the worrying over what could go disastrously wrong.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The 2020 election went smoothly: It saw record-high turnout despite the pandemic and only minuscule evidence of voting fraud.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>But there are new risks this year. A third of state and local election officials have resigned since 2020. In many states, allies of Donald Trump attack the election system and its workers.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Which potential risks to a fair election in November merit serious concern? Nathaniel Persily, a Stanford law professor who spends much of his time on the phone with election officials, says he’s less concerned about A.I. deep fakes and foreign meddling on social media, which appear to have little impact. It’s also helpful that at least half of ballots will likely be cast before Election Day, providing an early-warning system for some problems.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Persily’s overarching concern is uncertainty on or soon after Nov. 5. If the Electoral College is close, unresolved questions about how to count ballots in key battleground states could cause chaos. For example:</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">Violence or cyberattacks</span><span>. A disruption of voting on Election Day</span><span style="font-weight:700"> </span><span>can disenfranchise people. The worst problems might include physical threats that shut down a polling place or a counting facility. A cyberattack could also halt or hijack operations, affecting, for example, the election-night reporting system that media outlets rely on. But the effect might be limited by the fact that 98 percent of voters will cast paper ballots, including every vote cast in battleground states.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">Interference from partisan poll watchers</span><span>. Challenges to some voters (for example, about whether their IDs are valid) can deter others, especially if word spreads beyond a single polling place. “The perception of a problem can be as bad as the problem itself,” Persily said.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">Weather</span><span>. Hurricanes in southern states have shut down some early-voting locations and disrupted mail-in balloting. (Florida and North Carolina hadn’t started early voting when the storms hit.) People who fled may not receive mail-in ballots on time or be able to return to polling places.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">Different rules for contested ballots</span><span>. In the swing state of Pennsylvania, 67 different partisan county boards make rules on notifying voters about mistakes on mail ballots and whether they can fix those mistakes. That’s the kind of differential treatment of votes, within a state, that the Supreme Court rejected in Bush v. Gore.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Predictions for the number of rejected ballots in Pennsylvania </span><a href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/3iGfRPfoiKRqQUeTG3ifEg~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRo-1aSP0TeaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8xMC8wOC91cy9lbGVjdGlvbi1tYWlsLWluLWJhbGxvdC1yZWplY3Rpb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjQxMDIzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNzU3MyZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTIwODY3MjMxNiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE4MTE0MyZ1c2VyX2lkPTdiMGIyYTM4ZWQwZTg0OGZjMzMzZmQ4OTA4YjlkMGI2VwNueXRCCmcSktEYZ89yZMlSFXZhY25jYWJvYXJkQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~" class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">range</a><span> from 29,000 to 43,000, based on recent elections. In a very close race, local decisions about which ballots to count would wind up in court, without a pre-established statewide rule for resolving all disputes.

Delays can create a perception of bias even when none exists. In 2020, election officials warned that reliable results could take days. The same is true this year.
