MEVC’s September 13 Report and Discussion on Presidential Election Reform

MEVC hosted a virtual program on September 13, 2023, as part of our ongoing effort to engage and collaborate with a diverse array of organizations and individuals. The first half of the program, led by Professor Alex Keyssar of Harvard’s Kennedy School, included a brief description of the harms and dangers of our presidential election system, followed by a summary of the working group’s assessment of the leading reform options.

The second half of the program focused on MEVC’s citizen outreach, engagement, and education initiative, and it included ideas about the kinds of materials that we and other attendees might share with our various audiences to revive and stimulate a national political conversation about Electoral College reform. If you would like to explore these topics in further detail, please watch clips from our event, copied below.
