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 state of our democracy 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 redistricting efforts -- past and present -- and what's at stake for voters.

This is 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)

• Eric H. Holder Jr. CC'73, LAW'76, 82nd Attorney General of the United States
• Vanita Gupta, Distinguished Scholar in Residence and Adjunct Professor of Law at NYU School of Law; former United States Associate Attorney General
