DVC’s Defending Democracy Series
The Democratic Volunteer Center (DVC) is proud to host Daniel Squadron, co-founder of The States Project and former New York State Senator, for this important webinar.
Attacks on the freedom to vote, and on our ability to freely and fairly count those votes, have dramatically increased in the past year, with most of these attacks arising at the state level. Some observers have also suggested that a fringe legal theory known as the independent state legislature doctrine, which is now appearing in briefs submitted to the Supreme Court, could lead to a subversion of the will of the voters in the 2024 presidential election.
In this talk, Daniel Squadron of The States Project discusses the crucial role of state election rules and norms, the importance of judicial review in evaluating election law, the critical need to elect pro-democracy candidates to statehouses, and the key target states to focus on for 2022 and 2024.
