HOW DOES OUR DEMOCRACY REALLY WORK?
What happens behind the scenes on Election Day? How are votes counted and election results certified? And what role do federal and state courts play when election disputes arise? Join Pitt Law for a nonpartisan conversation with election officials and former federal prosecutors and judges who will help answer these questions, address common concerns and misinformation, and provide insight into the laws and constitutional processes that safeguard our elections.
Featured Speakers: Robert Beecher, Pennsylvania Election Official; Chet Harhut, Allegheny County Election Official; Hon. Robert J. Cindrich (Ret.), Former U.S. District Judge and U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania; Frederick W. Thieman, Former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
