Spotlight Series: Voter Access & Agency and Election Security
About
Moderated by Kevin Lindsey, Minnesota Humanities Center.
While some states race to restrict early/absentee voting, voting-by-mail, and voting by convicted felons, others strive to make polling places more accessible to people with disabilities, and to expand same-day voting registration. How much was the 2020 election a catalyst for these actions? What are the historical trends and factors that have brought us to the present moment? What does evidence tell us about various forms of voting access and the prevalence of election fraud? These, and other questions, will inform a lively panel discussion about the fundamental right and responsibility of living in a functioning democracy.
