Dozens of scholars, legal experts, party leaders and civic practitioners and over 100 attendees from across the country attended the “Parties, Power, and Possibility: Revisiting Fusion Voting in Wisconsin” daylong event Nov. 14. It was presented by University of Wisconsin Law School, the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership, the Elections Research Center, State Democracy Research Initiative, Center for Ballot Freedom and New America.
Panels were centered around fusion voting, as Wisconsin courts consider whether to lift the state’s longstanding ban on the electoral practice. Dean Dan Tokaji provided the welcome, and Assistant Professor Nathan Atkinson participated in one of the four discussions.
Topics ranged from the history, legal implications and potential impact of fusion voting to its relevance to the current political landscape.
