American Voter Project: The Evolving Political Landscape

Voting is fundamental to democracy, but American trust in “one person, one vote” has been compromised in recent years by Electoral College outcomes, allegations of voter suppression and voter fraud, and gerrymandering of congressional district boundaries. Integral to that conversation is the changing political landscape. For this installment of the American Voter Project series, the Eric H. Holder Jr. Initiative invites you to join us for a panel discussion on the evolving political landscape in traditional GOP strongholds, particularly in the Southern United States.

Panelists

Eric H. Holder Jr. CC'73, LAW'76, 82nd Attorney General of the United States

Donna F. Edwards, Former United States Representative (Maryland's 4th Congressional District)

Beto O'Rourke CC'95, Former United States Representative (Texas's 16th Congressional District)

Moderated by Bernard E. Harcourt, Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law, Professor of Political Science and Executive Director of the Holder Initiative
