The Votes are in: A Post-Election Day Conversation with USC's Christian Grose to Discuss the Results' Implications
Please join us on Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at 11:00am Pacific for the next episode of Election Science Office Hours, a webinar series presented by the Caltech Election Integrity Project and moderated by R. Michael Alvarez, PhD, Flintridge Foundation Professor of Political and Computational Social Science at Caltech and Co-Director, Linde Center for Science, Society, and Policy (LCSSP).
Professor Alvarez's guest will be Christian Grose, PhD, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Southern California. Professors Alvarez and Grose will be discussing the results of the November 4th election in California and around the country where off-year elections were held. They will also talk about the results of California's Proposition 50 election specifically, and what these results may mean for the 2026 midterms. They will also discuss the future of independent commission redistricting in California and nationally - and so much more.
One of USC’s most prolific social scientists, Christian Grose's research strengthens American democracy through a deeper understanding of Congress, representation, and elections. An influential figure in California politics and national policy, Dr. Grose collaborates with public officials, students, and academics on research and teaching. He is frequently consulted by advocacy organizations, state and local governments, and policymakers for his expertise on race, election reform, and redistricting. He has authored over 60 articles in prominent journals, including the American Political Science Review, and wrote the award-winning book Congress in Black and White, which argues that race and redistricting are key to understanding congressional decision-making. Dr. Grose is Director of the Democracy and Fair Elections Lab, where students learn methods for redistricting and statistical analysis of elections.
