Jonathan Becker and Kathy Gaweda ’21 Talk to WAMC about Bard’s Voter Suppression Lawsuit and Longstanding Student Efforts to Establish an On-Campus Polling Location

Jonathan Becker and Kathy Gaweda

Center for Civic Engagement Director Jonathan Becker and Election@Bard Team Leader Kathy Gaweda ’21 Discuss the College's Lawsuit Against the Dutchess County Board of Elections

“Our essential claim is that the space on campus, which is 2,200 square feet, is far safer than the current polling site, which is approximately 700 square feet,” said Becker. “Now, we don’t only think this. The Town Board of Red Hook has asked the Board of Elections to move the polling site, and even the church, which hosts the polling site, has said that they do not believe that their site is safe.”
