Watch: Primaries and Primary Reform

On May 14, 2020, we partnered with the Miller Center to bring together a panel of experts to discuss primaries and primary reform.

Our faculty affiliate Jennifer Lawless moderated as Chris Lu, Kyle Kondik and our Co-Director Craig Volden spent an hour answering questions such as:

Is the U.S. presidential primary system really the best way to choose a nominee? Are we too reliant on campaign cash and media coverage? What are the benefits and costs of ranked choice voting? What interests these experts the most as we look forward to a strange and unprecedented primary season?
