Fall 2020 Print Edition: “Ballots And Borders”

written by Grayson Peters December 3, 2020

Just as the past four years have been defined by the Trump presidency, these past few months have been shaped by the 2020 presidential election in America. The entire world watched with bated breath as President Trump surged to an early lead but was ultimately overtaken by absentee and mail-in votes for the Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden.

In the spirit of the times, our writers examined ballots, borders, and elections across the world, from Hong Kong to San Francisco, and from the Baltic states to Nigeria and Bolivia.

Thank you for reading The Generation, and we hope you enjoy “Ballots and Borders!”
