The 2020 U.S. Presidential election saw unprecedented turnout, challenges and litigation in state and federal courts across America, including the U.S. Supreme Court. UIA member Ian De Freitas will moderate this panel comprised of an American Constitutional law professor, a leading elections lawyer who was directly involved in the ensuing election litigation, a journalist who covered these events and their aftermath, and a distinguished international scholar who has assessed the wider global impacts. They will provide their insights and varied perspectives on 2020 and will also discuss the implications for 2021 and beyond for the U.S. and other democracies around the world, which is timely given the upcoming elections in countries such as Germany and France.
