"America's Undemocratic Elections", Mar. 6 (W) at 3:30pm

[Daniel Lake]

 *The Institute for Ethics in Public Life and the Office of Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion present "America's Undemocratic Elections." *

Contrary to what most Americans think, our democracy is often categorized
as a "flawed democracy" by scholars and non-governmental organizations due
to barriers to voting and the use of gerrymandering to skew election
outcomes. Many of the most significant issues with voting rights and access
have a discriminatory impact against Black and Latino/-a voters, as does
some of the gerrymandering.

For this forum, we'll be discussing the ways voting rights are abridged in
America as well as other common practices that undermine the quality of
American democracy by reducing participation in elections or biasing the
outcomes, with particular focus on those with a discriminatory impact.

You are welcome to join us in person at the Institute for Ethics in Public
Life (Hawkins 233) or on Zoom.

Daniel Lake is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Institute and ODEI forum on voting rights and elections
Time: Mar 6, 2024 03:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
