Saxbe Auditorium, Drinko Hall

The November 2016 presidential election promises to be one of the most significant elections in recent history, given the extreme polarity between the political stances of the Republican and Democratic nominees. This panel will consider the effect of voter registration, voter identification, and early voting laws on African Americans, while also attending to the intersections of race, gender, and class as it relates to the presidential candidates and their political stances.

Featured panelists include: Curtis Austin (AAAS), Wendy Smooth (WGSS), Daniel P. Tokaji (Moritz), Theodore T. Allen (ISE), and Gerald Hebert, Executive Director of the Campaign Legal Center Presented by The Department of African American Studies in conjunction with the American Constitution Society, Democracy Studies Program and the Politics, Society and Law Scholars.
