Panel Discussion

From the hanging chad to allegations of stolen elections, court cases and news reports reflect the uncertainty that surrounds one of the basic principles of the democratic process – voting in a free and fair election. Where can we go from here? Hear from expert panelists who will discuss the role of the media and the justice system in keeping the foundation of our government intact and the risks we face when election coverage goes beyond critical thinking and into conspiracy theorizing.

Presented by the San Diego Superior Court, San Diego County Bar Association and San Diego Society of Professional Journalists.
