Prof. Burden on Election 2020 (As The Votes Continue to Be Counted!)

As we continue to await the results of Tuesday’s presidential election, 1050 Bascom reached out to Prof. Burden for his insights on this historic week in American politics. Prof. Burden offered his take on what the pre-election polls got right, where the race is this afternoon, and how the next couple of days might play out. Prof. Burden also offered his take on President Trump’s election night remarks claiming victory, and walked us through his possible legal challenges. Prof. Burden told us he sees the high voter turnout rates across the country (amidst a global pandemic!) as very encouraging for the future of democratic elections in the US no matter which candidate prevails.
