On Thursday, Sept. 3, The National Press Club Journalism Institute is hosting “Election 2020: “What if?” a free virtual workshop tackling important topics surrounding the November election.
The National Press Club Journalism Institute promotes an engaged global citizenry through an independent and free press, and equips journalists with skills and standards to inform the public in ways that inspire civic engagement.
Following opening remarks by FEC commissioner Ellen Weintraub, participants will join breakout groups on one of four topics:
“Voter suppression, polling access and Election Day pandemonium,” “Mail-in ballots and US Postal Service readiness,” “Foreign interference,” and finally “Contested election results,” which will be led by Richard L. Hasen of UC Irvine School of Law. Professor Hasen served as an Adviser to Principles of the Law, Election Administration: Non-Precinct Voting and Resolution of Ballot-Counting Disputes, now available as an eBook.
