The New Danger in Voting LegislationDate: June 4, 2021Location:Category:
Georgia, Texas and other states are pursuing legislation that will make it more difficult to vote, especially for voters of color. Less attention has been paid to a second threat: giving the legislature a greater hand in who counts votes and how they are counted. Will this reform improve or damage the integrity of elections and the confidence of voters in their results?
An impressive panel joins the Humphrey School of Public Affairs Center for the Study of Politics and Governance:
Richard L. Hasen, Professor of law and political science, University of California, Irvine and author of Election Meltdown: Dirty Tricks, Distrust and the Threat to American Democracy.
Michael T. Morley, Professor of law, Florida State University, author in prominent scholarly journals and a member of the Federalist Society.
Tammy Patrick, Senior Advisor to the Elections Program at the Democracy Fund will moderate the conversation.
