As we approach the mid-term elections in a polarized nation, in might be useful to step back from the dueling demands for ending the Electoral College, Voter ID requirements, and partisan efforts at Gerrymandering to take an historical perspective on the role of parties and elections. Of course, ours is not the first time Americans have wrestled with questions of who gets to vote and how to organize the electoral process; nor is it the most polarized episode. 

Dr. Richard Harris, Professor Emeritus in Political Science from Rutgers University – Camden Campus, will present.
