Election and his defeat in 1980 by mr. Reagan. Mr. Balmer spoke at the Jimmy Carter Museum in atlanta back in 2014. Welcome. Its a pleasure for me tonight to introduce randall balmer, professor of arts and sciences at dartmouth college. I have followed his career for a long time.

And he has done that at other president ial libraries. Combined with that, he has also mined the resources of the archives on various evangelical organizations that have become involved in politics. And on top of his research skills, h
