As part of the town’s America 250 celebration, Greenwich Historical Society is partnering with the League of Women Voters for their 9th annual community case discussion featuring a brand new case reading this year: “An Australian (secret) Ballot for California”.
Did you know that for much of the 19th century, a voter’s choice of candidate was public in the US, exposing them to coercion, bribery and intimidation by everyone from employers to political party bosses? Learn about the tactics reformers used to overcome the preferences of these powerful interests to bring us the voting system we enjoy today.
Everyone who attends the event will be expected to read the short Harvard Business School case in advance and come prepared for a lively discussion. The case will be provided upon registration.
