| Description: Elections are critical moments in the life of modern democracy. They answer three fundamental questions: Who governs? Who gets what? Who are we? As such, they are both vital and deeply contested events. This course offers students a deep dive into the mechanics of United States elections, engaging with the process as both activists and analysts. Outside the classroom, students will help local community organizations register voters ahead of the November elections. Inside the classroom, they will hone their data analysis skills by querying real-world election and polling datasets. By the end of the course, students will have a clearer understanding of U.S. elections, their flaws, and their potential. |
