X-WR-CALDESC:The November 3\, 2020 presidential election gave rise to voter
  fraud claims in several states\, demands for multiple recounts\, numerous
  legal challenges\, and violence at the US Capitol on January 6\, 2021.  T
 hese numerous voting fraud claims were refuted as unfounded and contrary t
 o evidence.  The 2020 election was confirmed to be “the most secure in Ame
 rican History” and free and fair\, with no evidence of voter fraud.  So wh
 y have over 30 states recently introduced legislation seeking to restrict 
 voting access?  Are these laws intended to ensure the integrity of the ele
 ction process\, or is their true purpose to limit citizens’ right to vote?
   \n\nJoin us for this 2-hour discussion that draws on the experiences of 
 legal academics\, elected officials\, and political observers.  These expe
 rts will explain how and why this legislation has become so widespread\, a
 nd will suggest what can be done to ensure that voters are not disenfranch
 ised and remain free to fully exercise their right to vote.  The webinar w
 ill examine why this has become a national trend\, how it affects us local
 ly in Connecticut\, and how it will impact future generations of voters.  
 The panel will also explore how the states passing this legislation are us
 ing it to perpetuate racial inequality in voting rights and political acce
 ss.  Picking up from where the August 2020 Motley Series event on voting r
 ights left off\, this program will continue to analyze historical patterns
  and trends\, and consider how systemic racism impacts voting rights and p
 olitical access both on the national stage and in Connecticut.  Our paneli
 sts are on the front lines of these voter battles in Connecticut\, and hav
 e witnessed and studied how these policies seek to disenfranchise citizens
 \, influence campaigns\, and impact access to justice.\n\nCT CLE Credits: 
 2 CLE Credits (Ethics) are available for attendance at this event.\nClosed
  captioning will be available during the seminar presentation for virtual 
 attendees.\n\nTo learn more about this event or to register\, please visit
