A Particularly timely science on screen
Join us prior to the screening of Election for a presentation titled: "Rigged: The Dangerous Myth of Voter Fraud in American Elections" given by political science professor Dr. Michael Artime!
More about the talk:
In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election we saw the dangerous consequences of unfounded conspiracy theories about voter fraud and election rigging. However, these sorts of allegations are not new and have been used to justify policies that undermine democratic elections and disenfranchise voters. This lecture will explain and debunk some common election conspiracy theories and warn about the dangers of allowing these theories to spread.
