  • WHY: You can hardly turn on the news or read the newspaper without seeing stories related to pending and enacted legislation that relates to voting rights and procedures in states across the nation. In many cases, there is ambiguity and confusion surrounding these new laws – so there’s a need to cut through that confusion and help explain what all these new laws mean.

To that end, NSU’s Halmos College has organized this Zoom presentation. The event is free and open to the community – and the media are invited.
