    "Wrong Number: The crucial Ohio voting battle you haven't heard
    about." <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=40924>

Posted on October 1, 2012 7:27 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=40924>

I have written this Jurisprudence essay 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2012/10/ohio_voter_laws_the_battle_over_disenfranchisement_you_haven_t_heard_about_.html> 
for /Slate/.  It begins:

    Fights over new tough voting restrictions
    <http://thevotingwars.com/>, imposed mostly by Republican
    legislatures and elections officials, are finally getting the
    national attention they deserve: Thank you, Sarah Silverman, for
    your video
    <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2012/sep/28/sarah-silverman-voter-id-video>,
    expletives and all, about new and controversial voter identification
    laws. But an appeal being argued today by telephone
    <http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/OralArgumentCalendar_000.pdf>,
    /SEIU v. Husted/
    <http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/SEIUvHusted.php>,
    has remained obscure---even though if the election goes into
    overtime in Ohio, it could be key to the resolution of the
    presidential election.

    At issue are potentially thousands of Ohio ballots that the state
    will not count solely because of poll worker error. Here's the
    problem: A number of the state's polling places, especially in
    cities, cover more than one voting precinct, and in order to cast a
    valid vote, a voter has to be given the correct precinct ballot.
    Poll workers, however, often hand voters the wrong precinct ballot
    mistakenly. In earlier litigation involving a disputed 2010 juvenile
    judge race in Hamilton County, Ohio, a poll worker testified
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=29505> to sending a voter whose
    address started with the numbers "798" to vote in the precinct for
    voters with odd-numbered addresses because the poll worker believed
    "798" was an odd number. This "right church, wrong pew" problem with
    precinct ballots was a big problem in 2008, when over 14,000 such
    ballots were cast.

    'Tired Cries of Bias Don't Help Romney'

David Carr NYT column 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/01/business/media/challenging-the-claims-of-media-bias-the-media-equation.html?ref=politics>: 
'In the last few days, conservatives have become agitated about Mitt 
Romney's drop-off in the polls. So did they think the stumble was 
because of the ill-fated "47 percent" slip of the lip, or the hasty 
effort to gain a political edge after the death of an American 
ambassador in Libya, or more problematically, a campaign that can't seem 
to stop pratfalling no matter what the news?  No, in their view, the 
mysterious drop can only be explained by the fact that the mainstream 
media have their collective liberal thumb on the scale, in terms of 
coverage and, more oddly, polling.'

CS Monitor 
<http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/2012/0929/Potential-voter-registration-fraud-in-Florida-GOP-s-own-ACORN-scandal>: 
"It's far from clear whether the registrations would have led to voter 
fraud, or if they were simply attempts by employees to show that they'd 
done their jobs. That point may be underscored by the amateurish nature 
of the fraud."

I missed this NYT piece 
<http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/25/after-waters-inquiry-house-panel-recommends-new-ethics-rules/?hp>earlier 
this week.  It begins: "Saying that public trust is at stake, a special 
House ethics panel on Tuesday called for new rules to prevent lawmakers 
and their staffs from violating conflict of interest standards and 
proposed other new measures designed to keep partisan squabbles from 
undermining future investigations of such wrongdoing. The broad set of 
recommendations, coming only a few months before the House will adopt a 
new set of rules for the next Congress, were released as the ethics 
committee finally completed a three-year investigation of Representative 
Maxine Waters 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/22/us/politics/panel-finds-maxine-waters-didnt-violate-ethics-rules-in-bank-case.html>, 
Democrat of California, an inquiry that itself got caught up in 
controversy because of such partisan disputes and ambiguous ethics rules."

    Montana is different. For years, the Copper Kings wielded undue
    influence on the state's elections.

    New Hampshire is different. Its 400-member House of Representatives
    makes for one lawmaker for every 3,500 residents.

    Contrast that with California, where each state senator represents
    about 1 million residents. That's pretty different.

    Don't forget about Nebraska, whose unicameral legislature is
    nonpartisan. Different.

    Given such variety among all the states, professor William Marshall
    of the University of North Carolina School of Law wondered, why
    should campaign finance laws apply uniformly?
