Oct 20, 2024 - Conversation and Brunch with Ben Ginsberg

Crystal Balling the November Elections 16 Days Out

With the pivotal November elections just 16 days away, we’ll look at the state of the races for the White House and control of the US Senate and House. Mr. Ginsberg, who represented candidates and political parties during his legal career, will discuss how the campaigns are viewing the election. While every election is called "the most important of our lifetimes," the 2024 election actually might be given the very stark differences between the two parties’ candidates and visions.

But more is on the line than just the results of the November 5 elections. With over 30 percent of the country saying they don’t believe our election results are reliable, we’ll also look at what can happen in the weeks after Election Day and the impact that can have on the ability of the winner to govern, the peaceful transfer of power and ways we as citizens might work to restore overall faith in the outcome of elections.

Ben Ginsberg, a nationally known political law advocate representing participants in the political process, is the Volker Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and co-chair of two nonprofits aiding election officials enhance confidence in American elections - the Pillars of the Community project and the Election Officials Legal Defense Network.

He represented four of the last six Republican presidential nominees serving as national counsel, including playing a central role in the 2000 Florida recount.

Mr. Ginsberg has represented the campaigns and leadership PACs of numerous members of the Senate and House as well as national party committees, governors, and state officials. He has served as cochair of the bipartisan Presidential Commission on Election Administration, and appears frequently on television and has written numerous articles on these issues.
