We are in the midst of a thrilling election season, marked by an unprecedented upsurge of civic participation.  The stakes are high; the expectations - the promise - even greater. The battles before us will be over who votes and how those votes are counted. Brennan Center attorneys and other engaged legal minds are focused on what can be done between now and November to ensure that every vote cast is a vote counted.

Brennan Center lawyers will provide on the ground insight and context for these efforts, with a conversation centered on how to fix our failing election systems.

This time we must get it right!

Please join us!
