Why are Americans, and their elected leaders, so divided by politics? Political scientist Sean Theriault will speak at a democracy and polarization summit in Springfield this week. Former congressman Dan Lipinski will also address the summit, which takes place at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and the President Abraham Lincoln DoubleTree Hotel.
