ELECTION LAW IN A
CHANGING POLITICAL LANDSCAPE: Voter Access, Enforcement After Violations, and Innovative State Practices will explore various issues surrounding election law today by bringing together experienced speakers with differing perspectives on key topics and solutions in election law. The Symposium will tackle complex, controversial, and nuanced issues related to election law and how we seek to protect an institution that is important to all in this country. In an era of ever-increasing allegations of voter irregularity, suppression, and tampering, we will analyze the relationship between the need to ensure true and fair elections without disenfranchising large portions of the electorate. We will explore innovative approaches at the state and local election level that can be adapted to federal elections. Next, we will delve into topics surrounding voters’ access to the ballot box and states’ attempts to limit voter fraud. Finally, we will discuss how governments can identify and rectify violations of campaign and election law.
