American Voter Project: Executive Power and the Rule of Law

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. The role of the executive branch is, of course, integral to that conversation. For this installment of the American Voter Project series, the Eric H. Holder Jr. Initiative for Civil and Political Rights invites you to join us for a conversation on executive power and the rule of law.

This event is co-sponsored by Columbia Votes.

Discussion and Q&A: 6:00-7:30 p.m. (Doors open at 5:30 p.m.)
Reception: 7:30-8:00 p.m. (Food will be served)

Speakers:

• Eric H. Holder Jr. CC'73, LAW'76, 82nd Attorney General of the United States
• Jamelle Bouie, Opinion Columnist, The New York Times
• Olatunde Johnson, Ruth Bader Ginsburg '59 Professor of Law, Columbia Law School

Moderated by Frank A. Guridy, Dr. Kenneth and Kareitha Forde Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies and Professor of History; Executive Director of the Holder Initiative.
