The elections that will be held in November 2024 will be one of the most significant in US history.  The candidates for president are two men who have both been president and who, except for their age, could not be more different.  The down-ballot races will often be contests that reflect the personalities and positions of the men at the top.  The results of this election will make a huge difference in what happens in American society and the rest of the world.  One side has already announced that if they don’t win the election, they will do what they can to change the results.  We could be in for months of chaos.  I hope this course will be a place where we can sort things out, find ways to be of influence if we wish, and keep our fears and confusion from overwhelming us. For each class, I will provide some information about various races and we will discuss what everyone has learned from every source available.

Please note that this class begins on October 23, during the break week.
