This event occurred on November 4, 2020 and is a part of “The 2020 U.S. Election Event series“.


The day after the U.S. election, our panelists discuss turnout and election night returns. Given the less than traditional nature of this election, clear results may not be forthcoming immediately, but some of the next steps may be clear. Our panelists discuss the legal issues around vote counting and the determination of a winner and what processes might be invoked to clarify results. They’ll also look at international reaction to the outcome and what to expect in the coming weeks.

Moderator: Megan Dias (PhD student, University of Texas at Austin; MA, UBC Political Science)
Panelists: Kristen Hopewell (UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs); Robert Russo (Peter A. Allard School of Law); Matthew Wright (UBC Political Science)
