In democracies, ours included, voting is free, equal and secret – except when it’s not. A panel of distinguished scholars will discuss the subtle and not so subtle ways in which voting rights continue to be undermined in the context of a long history of electoral interferences, voter suppression, discouragement, and intimidation. They will discuss the deliberate targeting of particular groups and individuals as well as structural and infrastructural infringements on voting rights.

Panel Discussion Featuring:
Vincent L. Hutchings (Political Science, University of Michigan)
Rebecca Scott (History, School of Law; University of Michigan)
Michael J. Steinberg (Legal Director, American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan)
Heather Ann Thompson (Afroamerican and African Studies, History, Residential College; University of Michigan)
Matthew Countryman (moderator; Afroamerican and African Studies, American Culture, History; University of Michigan)

Free and open to the public.
