The Power of Voting: The Electoral College, Gerrymandering, and Suppression

People express their power at the ballot box by giving power to elected officials and public institutions. For generations, Americans have struggled to secure their right to vote, but today, access to the polls remains one of the most hotly contested topics in American politics, especially right before an election for president.
In this sixth webinar in the Power to the People series from the Center for Civic Education, Michael Li, senior counsel for the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program, explains the power of voting, with a special focus on the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and voter suppression.
The Power of Voting webinar is designed especially for civics, government, and U.S. history teachers who want to better understand the power of voting.

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
