Luck, Betrayal, and Repairing Democratic Norms

Free and Fair with Franita and Foley

In this episode, recorded in the week after Election Day, Edward Foley (Ohio State Moritz College of Law) and Franita Tolson (USC Gould School of Law) work through their mixed emotions. From historic voter turnout to post-election lawsuits, the highs and lows revealed just how far we have strayed from the norm, and how close we came to a different outcome. Taking the long view, they discuss the importance of norms in our elections and governance, and how they can be restored and protected to ensure fair play in the future.
