Larry Sabato
As an unpredictable election season gathers steam, Old Dominion University's Friends of the ODU Libraries has invited a speaker to help forecast what will happen in November. He comes with his own "crystal ball."
Larry Sabato, founder and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and Robert Kent Gooch professor of politics at U.Va., will speak at Old Dominion Thursday, Oct. 13 in the Big Blue Room of the Ted Constant Convocation Center, beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $28 for general admission and $10 for students.
The appearance is a fundraiser for Friends of the ODU Libraries and one of several events aimed at increasing engagement in the lead-up to the Nov. 8 presidential election.
Sabato directs the Center for Politics' Crystal Ball website, a leader in predicting elections since its inception. Sabato will speak from his decades of experience studying politics to try to provide insight for voters.
A panel discussion will follow his talk.
