CEPE Book Group:  Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop - In the aftermath of a senate impeachment vote that saw just one senator cross party lines, can American democracy still function? Lee Drutman argues that the electoral system in place in most states pushes us towards polarization and makes compromise impossible. He suggests that states could implement different forms of voting that might encourage the development of a multi-party system built on coalitions and compromise.   Sign up  for the book group to discuss these ideas. Facilitated by Prof. Eric Baack.
