In Lawrence Douglas' own words, "Donald Trump is already trying to invalidate the 2020 elections in myriad ways. But how well equipped is our constitutional and legal system to deal with an electoral crisis? During this event, Constitutional Law expert Lawrence Douglas will discuss his book WILL HE GO?, which asks what would happen if Trump doesn’t concede this coming November. This scenario was only narrowly avoided during Bush V Gore, and in the hyper-partisan Washington of today, concession does not seem likely."

 

Lawrence Douglas is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought at Amherst College, as well as a known writer for The Guardian. He is the prize-winning author of seven books, most recently WILL HE GO: Trump and the Looming Election Meltdown in 2020 (Grand Central Publishing, 2020).
