The Electoral College: Is Reform Needed? Wednesday, December 16, 7:30-9pm
Join JCC Greater Boston and WGBH for the latest virtual event from the Jonathan Samen Hot Buttons, Cool Conversations discussion series, The Electoral College: Is Reform Needed? As we move past the contentious 2020 election, one particular question has surfaced once again this election cycle: Is the way we elect the President in this country still working? Explore the roles race, politics, and geography have played in the electoral college and if reform is needed or not. This lively discussion will be led by an expert group of panelists, all representing varying perspectives on voting and the electoral college, followed by a brief Q & A.
