Tuesday, January 14, 2025 – Session 4
Hoover Institution | Stanford University
The Hoover Institution Center for Revitalizing American Institutions is proud to announce a new webinar series called “Reimagining American Institutions.” The webinar series builds awareness about how we can individually and collectively revitalize American institutions to ensure our country’s democracy delivers on its promise. The fourth session of this series features Benjamin Ginsberg, Justin Grimmer, and Brandice Canes-Wrone.
Public faith in the reliability of American elections has been eroding for decades with both political parties voicing concerns at times since the 1980s. Democrats have often pointed to issues like voter suppression and systemic inequities, while many Republicans have embraced claims of widespread fraud. Since 2016, and particularly following the 2020 election, polls have shown a more precipitous drop in the public’s trust in elections. These divisions have raised critical questions: Are election results reliable? Is distrust in elections now an enduring feature of American political campaigns and does that impact the democracy? Are we destined to cycle through accusations of fraud and suppression with every contested result? What have we learned from the 2024 election process?
