Watch the map. UF Professor Michael McDonald, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, focuses on elections and voter turnout and is closely tracking early voter turnout in the 2020 presidential election through his United States Elections Project. Learn more at electproject.org; you can also follow McDonald on Twitter @ElectProject.

Get some perspective. Join the Bob Graham Center for an evening with scholar of American history and pop culture, Glenn Altschuler, as he discusses the 2020 presidential election, explains what’s at stake, and predicts the outcome. Altschuler is the Thomas and Dorothy Litwin Professor of American Studies at Cornell University and the author of All Shook Up: How Rock & Roll Changed America.

While you are encouraged to actively participate and engage in activities surrounding the election, please be sure to keep in mind UF policy prohibiting campaigning or otherwise supporting campaign activities during your workday or using UF resources.
