Two Really Interesting Podcasts from AEI

By E.L. Lipman

The American Enterprise Institute has recently hosted two seminars that might be interest to readers of Within the Scope.

The first, undertaken just last night, was the first Distinguished Lecture to AEI?s new Center for Regulatory and Market Studies. The lecture, entitled ?Extremism,? was delivered by Professor Cass R. Sunstein of the University of Chicago Law School. In his remarks, Professor Sunstein argues that the phenomenon of "ideological amplification" can press juries, federal judges and even ordinary citizens to embrace extreme positions.

A podcast of the lecture is accessible here.

The second event, "From Registration to Recounts - A Study of Election Ecosystems," was a book forum that was held earlier this month. At the forum, researchers from the election law program at Ohio State University unveiled their recently completed review of election procedures in five key Midwestern states ? one of which was Minnesota. At the forum, election administration challenges facing Minnesota (and other states) are discussed.

A podcast of the book forum is accessible here.
