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 boundaries. Concerns about election hacking will only increase as voting becomes more digitized. This series of events will bring together scholars, politicians, journalists, activists, artists, students and community members to discuss key issues that influence American voting today. Confirmed guests: Eric H. Holder Jr. CC'73, LAW'76; 82nd Attorney General of the United States Kamala Kelkar JRN'15; PBS NewsHour Weekend Judge Lisa Foster (Ret.); Treasurer, Making Every Vote Count Foundation Professor Lawrence Lessig; Harvard Law School
