From Biden to Harris: The Future of the Election System
The University of Arizona's ACS and Federalist Society chapters are partnering to offer an insightful discussion about a variety of election related issues—each organization has invited their own guest speaker to share their thoughts. Professor Derek Muller of The University of Notre Dame and Professor Foley of The University Ohio State will sit for a moderated conversation by The University of Arizona's very own Professor Griffin. The topics covered are far-reaching but will be centered around this current election cycle, particularly the Democratic Party's nominee switch: "From Biden to Harris." Other over-arching topics will be discussed including the electoral system and proposed alternatives such as rank-choice or plurality voting. This is sure to be a festive and enriching event that you will not want to miss!
