FiveThirtyEight
<http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/in-gun-ownership-statistics-partisan-divide-is-sharp/>:
"An American child grows up in a married household in the suburbs. What
are the chances that his family keeps a gun in their home? The
probability is considerably higher than residents of New York and other
big cities might expect: about 40 percent of married households reported
having a gun in their home, according to the exit poll conducted during
the 2008 presidential election. But the odds vary significantly based on
the political identity of the child's parents. If they identify as
Democratic voters, the chances are only about one in four, or 25
percent, that they have a gun in their home. But the chances are more
than twice that, almost 60 percent, if they are Republicans."

AALS Election Law "Hot Topic" Panel
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=45530>

Coming January 4 to New Orleans to the American Association of Law
Schools'annual meeting <http://aals.org/am2013/FinalProgram2013.pdf>....
*Hot Topic Workshop on Democracy and the Public Trust: Equality,
Integrity, and Suppression in the 2012 Election*
Moderators: Steven Bender, Seattle University School of Law
Audrey G. McFarlane, University of Baltimore School of Law
Speakers: Gilda Daniels, University of Baltimore School of Law
Richard L. Hasen, University of California, Irvine School of Law
Sylvia Lazos, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law
Janai S. Nelson, St. John's University School of Law
Spencer Overton, The George Washington University Law School
Terry Smith, DePaul University College of Law
Zephyr Teachout, Fordham University School of Law
The goal is to focus on how the voice of the powerful and the vulnerable
were affected by laws regarding election registration and voter ID,
election participation and felony disenfranchisement and how the new
form of political voice through financial contributions from political
action committees have affected the election landscape. Therefore, in
addition to discussing some of the common themes that tie together the
various voter ID laws that several states have adopted as well as the
judicial responses to those laws, we are hoping to consider the broader
implications for democracy and steps that can be taken to resolve the
controversies surrounding the Election of 2012. We will in effect be
exploring in hindsight whether there was anything different about the
Election of 2012 from a historical perspective and what did the Election
of 2012 teach us about our democracy? As well, we will consider how the
various new laws impacted vulnerable populations such as Latina/o and
Black voters.
