"Election Reform and Voter ID:
Access & Integrity"
As states work to improve their election systems under the Help America Vote
Act, controversy over voter identification requirements has come to the
forefront of debates on election reform. That controversy is likely to
continue if not intensify in the months leading up to November's elections.
Based on the Carter-Baker Commission's proposals on voter ID, Robert Pastor
and Spencer Overton will offer alternative perspectives on where we should
go from here.
Join leading experts for a discussion on voter ID and other critical
election reform topics.
