Democracy, as we have understood it, appears to be under siege from within and without. The right to vote and the existence of fair and free elections form the bedrock of our democracy, with all other rights flowing from this foundation. But serious threats to the right to vote loom, endangering these free and fair elections. This conversation will explore these challenges, what the law can and can’t do, and how laws and legal systems designed to ensure the integrity of elections actually work on the ground.

Panelists:

• Mark C. Alexander, The Arthur J. Kania Dean & Professor of Law, ÃÞ»¨ÌÇÖ±²¥ Law
• , Charles Ogletree Jr. Professor of Law & Faculty Director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice, Harvard Law School and Distinguished Order of the Coif Visiting Scholar
