How to Protect a Presidential Election

Inspired by the events of the 2020 presidential election and the subsequent attack on the capital, Professor Lawrence Lessing (w/ co-author Matthew Seligman) outline in their book How to Steal a Presidential Election the various legal frameworks that the loser of an election in the U.S. could use to assume office despite election results and charted the possible courses of action a losing candidate/party could take in the aftermath of a contested election.  On the eve of another presidential election and faced with heightened threats of voter suppression, new laws governing election officials’ powers, and the rampant spread of rhetoric around election integrity, we invite you to sit in on a conversation between Professor Lessig and Professor of the Practice and Director of the Democracy and Rule of Law Clinic, Larry Schwartztol. Bring your questions, concerns, and an appetite to what promises to be an enlightening lunch hour. Please REGISTER for lunch.
