    Intermittent Blogging....for the Last Time Before the Election

I'll be a scholar in residence at William and Mary law, talking about 
/The Voting Wars 
<http://law.wm.edu/academics/intellectuallife/researchcenters/electionlaw/newsandactivities/index.php>/, 
congressional overrides/political polarization 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2130190>, campaign 
finance <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1620576>, 
and a constitutional right to lie 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2151618>.  I'll then 
be presenting The Voting Wars 
<http://www.amazon.com/Voting-Wars-Florida-Election-Meltdown/dp/0300182031/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1329286945&sr=1-2-catcorr> 
at the University of Kentucky Law school.

Blogging will be intermittent through mid-week, but then I don't have 
any trips longer than one day scheduled before the election.

NY Times 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/06/us/politics/in-face-of-voter-id-laws-democrats-push-to-expand-ballot-access.html>: 
"LOS ANGELES --- At a time when Republicans have moved to enact tougher 
qualifications for voting in states around the country, Democrats have 
begun to push voter registration laws in the opposite direction in 
states they control, especially here."

    "Ex-DoD Official Says Voter Group's Numbers Wrong"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=41217>

Posted on October 6, 2012 2:17 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=41217> 
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Important report 
<http://www.military.com/daily-news/2012/10/05/ex-dod-official-says-voter-groups-numbers-wrong.html> 
from Military.com: "According to Carey, the problem is not the Pentagon 
and it's not flagging voter interest, but MVPP's analysis. MVPP either 
missed or ignored the fact that under the law in effect for 2008, 
election officials were required to send out thousands more ballots than 
were actually requested. At the time, the law mandated that absentee 
ballots be sent out to those who submitted a current ballot application 
and also to anyone who had applied for an absentee ballot in the prior 
election, 2006. That was bound to create a significant spike in the 
number of ballots mailed out, according to Carey. Trouble is, some of it 
was illusory."

I suspect we will hear a response from Eric Eversole to this, although 
he did not respond to Military.com's request for an interview.
