X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
In a year marked by turmoil and unprecedented threats to democratic process\, the 2020 U.S. Presidential election is the most bit terly contested and consequential race in recent years. The Covid-19 pandem ic has laid bare the structural inequalities and harsh realities faced for decades by the vast majority of Americans. Persistent racialized violence a nd police brutality have been met with global protests and widespread calls to dismantle systems of violence and oppression. Wildfires and storms have provided stark reminders of the existential threat of climate change. In a ddition to the very real\, moral issues at stake\, the country is faced wit h challenges to the primacy of objective truth and reality and a rejection of longstanding procedural norms in the government’s handling of these over lapping crises. This election may prove to be the ultimate stress test for democratic values\, norms and institutions in the United States.
This series will look at the issues and dynamics driving the campaigns\, the le gal questions sure to dominate the days and weeks after the election\, the election’s impact on global politics\, the pandemic\, and what we can expec t as we head into 2021.
