**About**[^1] "The **Transition Integrity Project** was a short-term project launched by Rosa Brooks and Nils Gilman to conduct scenario-based exercises aimed at identifying potential risks to the integrity of the November 3, 2020 election and transition process. "Our goal was to help ensure that the 2020 presidential election is free, fair and peaceful, in order to ensure that the outcome is accepted by all as legitimate. By identifying potential risks to the election and the transition, we hope to encourage actions that will shore up the integrity of the process. "In June 2020 we ran a series of scenario simulations exploring what could possibly go wrong around the election, and what could be done to mitigate the identified risks. On August 3, 2020, we published a report summarizing our findings." --- ## Overviews & Summaries > [!info|no-icon flex bg-c-gray]- <font color="#ffffff">Transition Integrity Project Wiki Page</font> <br> <br> The **Transition Integrity Project** (TIP) was a series of political scenario exercises in the United States beginning in June 2020, involving over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government officials.
