September Lunch & Learn

The Electoral College:
Its History and Relevance in Modern Elections

Program Information:
The Electoral College is in the news as candidates decide where to spend their time and resources in this election season. We know it is important but how did it start? Why is it controversial? How else could we elect our president? Will it guide us through another peaceful transfer of power?

Please join the LWVLA’s Lunch & Learn Program as Joan Schwarz guides us through the history and impact of the Electoral College.

Speaker:
Joan Schwarz is a retired attorney and Civics Education and Gender Law lecturer at UW Whitewater, and currently serves as Secretary of the Board of the LWVWI, Chair of the State Impartial Justice and Redistricting Committee, and is a member of the state Legislative Committee with a focus on redistricting, court integrity, reproductive justice and the ERA.
