Could independent voters elect our next president?, "Global Election Fever," the ERA at ϳԹ, and more, this week. 

 

In this episode of “The Last Class with Professor Ron Seyb,” a series where longtime ϳԹ Political Science Professor Ron Seyb — with his signature wisdom and wit — analyzes election-related topics, Professor Seyb explores whether independent voters could elect our next president. 

‌“Most Americans cherish their independence,” he observes. “This is particularly evident in politics. Americans’ relationship with the two political parties is something they would prefer to conceal from their friends.”

Students are invited to create 30- to 60-second non-partisan videos informing voters and/or encouraging voter participation by Monday, Nov. 4. Prizes include Amazon gift cards, lunch with President Marc C. Conner, and invites to an Election Day award ceremony. Further information and guidelines are available online.
