Over the last few years, worries have grown about electoral subversion: the prospect that state governments controlled by a minority of voters could ignore voters to install a different president or congressional representatives than those chosen by popular vote. Several laws and court cases have caused legal scholars to sound the alarm on this issue. For example, the case Moore v. Harper, currently before the Supreme Court, could determine whether state legislatures have the power to ignore the popular vote in their states in presidential elections. In addition, states continue to enact voting regulations that aim to suppress the vote, and congressional lines have been drawn to maintain the political power of one party (the practice of so-called “gerrymandering”).

In this panel discussion, legal scholars will address the current legislative and judicial challenges to our electoral system and what can be done to protect our democracy.

Class covers:

• The “independent state legislature” theory, and its potential to override a popular vote
• Election laws aimed at suppressing the votes of racial minorities or members of a certain political party
• Gerrymandering, i.e., the drawing of legislative districts to favor one party over the other
• Other possible sources of electoral subversion and threats to democracy
• What can be done to protect democratic principles like “one person, one vote”

Although you can listen to the class from various kinds of devices, you will need video to view the speaker(s) and any presentation materials and the ability to type on your device and use Zoom to ask questions or use the chat features.
