Kevin, I have re-read and re-read you hypo and just don't understand it.
Sorry. But why do you think it is "more likely" and, even if it is, why
won't you address mine, since it certainly does happen? Jim Bopp

Jim,
That’s almost cute.
May I suggest a more likely hypothetical.
Now let’s assume instead that each of A and B had a single corporate
parent organized in a second state (C and D). And that C is D’s primary
funder.
And that C’s funds primarily come from two people, let’s call them
Charles and David Koo, each of whom are foreign nationals.
Or, let’s keep it legal, they are two Californians who just want to try to
avoid the transparency requirements of California law because,
hypothetically, their economic interests would point out how hypocritical their
position is.
It may be legal, but don’t try and make an argument that there isn’t
active circumvention going on here.
And yes, it happens on both sides (see LCV intervention in Montana), but
it is a massive distortion to assert that there is approaching equivalency.

_“Controversial Arizona nonprofit releases name of contributors — more
nonprofits”_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?p=43391)

_LA Times:_
(http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2012/11/arizona-group-releases-names.html) ”In a stunning reversal, an obscure
Arizona nonprofit at the center of a legal battle over secret political
contributions released on Monday morning the identity of its contributors, which it
had been fighting tooth and nail to keep secret. But the disclosure did
little to shed light on who was behind the $11-million donation to a
California campaign fund. The Arizona group, Americans for Responsible Leadership,
identified its contributors only as other nonprofits. The money was passed
from Americans for Job Security to the Center to Protect Patient Rights to
Americans for Responsible Leadership, according to state authorities. From
there, the money was sent to a California campaign committee fighting Gov.
Jerry Brown’s tax-hike plan, Proposition 30, and pushing a separate ballot
measure to curb unions’ political influence, Proposition 32.”

This is a very important fight. California’s disclosure law has been
particularly effective in preventing the kind of shell game we see here. It is
crucial for California to continue to pursue this case aggressively (kudos
all around), otherwise this shell game model would become the norm in CA.
Apparently, Rick is not satisfied with this first level of "disclosure,"
even though apparently Calif is (though I am not sure from reading the
article), so I assume he wants to go to the second level. Let's play that game
with the following hypothetical:
Lets say that the Ariz group, which made the California ballot measure
committee a $10 million dollar contribution (to keep it simple), had 10
donors, nonprofits A through J, and each of these 10 nonprofits had1,000 donors
each. Lets say that each of these nonprofits, A through J, each gave the
Ariz group $!,000,000, but each had total contributions of $10,000,000 from
their 1,000 donors. Thus, nonprofits A though J gave 10% of their money to
the Arizona nonprofit.
Now what possible relevance would it be force nonprofits A through J to
disclose their 1,000 donors, assuming none of those contributions were
earmarked to contribute to the Ariz group or the Calif ballot measure committee?
What is the "shell game" here that Rick wants to uncover?
What if each of these nonprofits, A through J, got one donation from
another nonprofit who also had 1,000 donors. Should this nonprofit also reveal
its donors? What if it only gave 10% of its total contributions during
the year?
Since the federal government is the only one with a money tree, there is
actually no original source of money -- everyone get it from someone else --
so where does this end and at what point does it no longer become
relevant? Jim Bopp

Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s former campaign manager, _told MSNBC_
(http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/11/05/1139141/mccain-strategist-admits-voter
-fraud-doesnt-really-exist/) : “I think that all of this stuff that has
transpired over the last two years is in search of a solution to a problem,
voting fraud, that doesn’t really exist when you look deeply at the
question. It’s part of the mythology now in the Republican Party that there’s
widespread voter fraud across the country.”
Remember what John McCain said during the 2008 campaign at a debate: ” “
We need to know the full extent of Senator Obama’s relationship with ACORN,
who is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in
voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy.”

Circuit case which forced the state of Ohio to restore_
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=41187) this final weekend of early voting which the legislature
had taken away from all except military voters: “The key distinguishing
factor here is that Ohio voters were granted the statutory right to in-person
absentee voting through the close of business hours on the Monday before
election day, and the election boards of the largest counties broadly
embraced and facilitated that right, in response to the unacceptably burdensome
situation at many Ohio polling sites during the 2004 election where, in some
counties, voters were required to stand in line for long hours and until
late at night.”

_Glenn Cook_ (http:
//www.lvrj.com/opinion/how-many-noncitizens-are-registered-to-vote-177141441.html) : “Last week, I met with two immigrant
noncitizens who are not eligible to vote, but who nonetheless are active registered
voters for Tuesday’s election. They said they were signed up by Culinary
Local 226. They speak and understand enough English to get by. But they don’t
read English especially well. They say the Culinary official who
registered them to vote didn’t tell them what they were signing and didn’t ask
whether they were citizens. The immigrants said they trusted that the union
official’s request was routine, thought nothing of it and went about their
work. Then the election drew closer. Then the Culinary canvassers started
seeking them out and ordering them to go vote.”
This definitely requires further investigation.

_Miami Herald_
(http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/11/04/3081614/florida-democratic-party-files.html) :
On the surface, officials blamed technical equipment and a lack of staff
for the shutdown. But behind the scenes, there was another issue: Miami-Dade
Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
The Republican had never signed off on the additional in-person absentee
voting hours in the first place.
“That was counter to what I said on Friday, which was we were not going to
change the game mid-stream,” he said. “I said, ‘No, there’s no way we
did this.’”
But Gimenez, who is in a nonpartisan post, quickly realized it was better
to let the voting go on, and the voting resumed.
The mayor said he found out early Sunday afternoon — from his
daughter-in-law — about the extra voting hours.

(http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/comments/index.php?ID=10019) [corrected link]: “For all three of these reasons, it seems
problematic for the federal court to grant the relief the plaintiffs now request,
even if it were appropriate for the court to reach the merits of plaintiffs’
new claim. Ordinarily, I am hesitant to evaluate the merits of a pending
issue before a court until I’ve had the opportunity to read and reflect upon
the full briefing of the issue, from all sides to the litigation. In the
present situation, there are more briefs to come this week from both
plaintiffs and the Secretary of State (and perhaps others), according to a
_schedule_
(http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/BriefingSchedule_001.pdf) set by the court. But because there has been considerable
_media attention_
(http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/ohios-provisional-ballot-order-the-biggest-legal-story-of-the-weekend/264498/) to
this issue over the weekend, I thought it might be helpful (for members of the
public trying to understand what is going on) to offer this preliminary
analysis of the issue—even though it is necessarily tentative in light of the
still-unfolding nature of litigation.”

_“Behind the voting wars, a clash of philosophies”_
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=43289)
Posted on _November 4, 2012 10:02 am_
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=43289) by _Rick Hasen_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3)
I have written _this cover piece_
(http://www.sacbee.com/2012/11/03/4958430/republicans-have-pursued-election.html) for the Sacramento Bee’s Sunday
Forum section. It begins:
On Tuesday, voters will go to the polls in what is expected to be a
nail-bitingly close presidential election. Indeed, we may wake up Wednesday
morning, as voters did in 2000 and 2004, not knowing who won. If we are
extremely unlucky, the election will be so close that it will go to a recount and
possibly to the courts. The state whose votes are pivotal to the election
outcome – Ohio, Florida, who knows? – will see its election process go
under a microscope with full dissection in real time over Twitter and Facebook.
It would get very ugly very quickly.
If the election comes down to the wire in this way, and if _Mitt Romney_
(http://topics.sacbee.com/Mitt+Romney/) ekes out a win, then a series of
election changes and administrative actions pursued by Republican
legislatures and election officials, as well as challenges pursued by tea party
activists, may prove to have given him the winning margin. While crass political
calculation is part of the explanation for Republican pursuit of these
tough new voting rules, there is also a deeper philosophical divide between
Republicans and Democrats over the nature of voting and democracy, a divide
that the most recent skirmishes in the voting wars have laid bare.
Another snippet:
Whether or not Republicans are genuinely concerned about _voter fraud_
(http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/) – and if they were, the first thing
they should do is get rid of _absentee ballots,_
(http://topics.sacbee.com/absentee+ballots/) which would eliminate the lion’s share of_voter fraud_
(http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/) issues – a _voter fraud_
(http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/) rationale cannot explain recent Republican
cutbacks on early voting.
In Ohio, Doug Preisse, chair of the Franklin County Republican Party and
elections board member, offered the Columbus Dispatch a different
explanation for his vote against extended weekend early voting: “I guess I really
actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the
urban – read African American – voter-turnout machine. … Let’s be fair and
reasonable.”
But Republican cutbacks on voting go beyond the naked political
calculation to a philosophical divide with Democrats over the nature of voting and
elections. To many Republicans, voting is an exercise in choosing the best
candidate. Under that philosophy, it makes sense to make voting harder to
weed out those who might care less, or be less tied to the community, or be
less educated or intelligent.
And:
The Democrats’ philosophy about voting and elections could not be more
different. Democrats tend to see elections as about the allocation of power
among political equals, and it is not the state’s job to decide who is smart
enough or motivated enough to vote. Indeed, Democrats’ concerns about these
new Republican laws is not really that they literally will disenfranchise
many voters; it is that by adding additional effort to the requirements to
cast a ballot, these new Republican restrictions will deter casual voters
from bothering to take the steps necessary to cast a ballot that will
count.
As with Republicans, the Democrats’ philosophy on voting neatly ties in
with the party’s self-interest. These casual voters are going to be more
likely to vote Democratic. Thus, proclaiming a high-minded commitment to
universal enfranchisement also is good for Democratic candidates. It is no
surprise that states which have adopted Election Day registration – as
California recently did for future elections – tend to be states with
Democratic-dominated legislatures. Nor have Democrats shown any interest in removing
noncitizens from the rolls in the off-season, although noncitizen voting
remains a real, if small, problem.
The latest skirmishes in the voting wars have laid bare the underlying
voting philosophies of the two major parties, and the connection of those
philosophies to each party’s self- interest. This is a fight that’s taken
place at the margin, in technical changes to voting rules. Perhaps these
changes will have no effect at all on the identity of the next president. Or
perhaps they will be the difference between four more years of Barack Obama
and a new presidency under Mitt Romney.

_AP:_
(http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2012/11/03/us/politics/ap-us-campaign-minority-contributions.html?ref=politics) ” Americans living in
predominantly wealthy, white neighborhoods account for nearly all the sizable
campaign contributions in this year’s presidential election, according to an
Associated Press analysis, even as the presidential candidates have
aggressively courted Hispanics. Latino voters are widely viewed as pivotal for
victories in some battleground states Tuesday.”
