    "Texas moves to protect voter ID law"

<http://www.scotusblog.com/2013/08/texas-moves-to-protect-voter-id-law/#more-168281> 
(the only one apparently /not /on hiatus this week at SCOTUSBlog): 
"Repeating its argument that its controversial new photo ID requirement 
for Texas voters is now in operation, the state on Thursday asked a 
federal court in Washington to put an end to a case testing that law's 
validity.  The state filed a two-page motion to dismiss 
<http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Texas-mtn-to-dismiss-re-voter-ID.pdf> 
the case. That, however, could encounter resistance from the Obama 
administration, which believes the law impairs minorities' voting rights 
and wants to block Texas from enforcing any such law."

    A coalition of judicial watchdog groups launched a new website today
    tracking litigation that could impact the fairness of our nation's
    court system. The groups, called the Fair Courts Litigation Task
    Force, include the Brennan Center for Justice, The Campaign Legal
    Center, the National Center for State Courts, Justice at Stake, and
    the American Judicature Society.

    The website,www.faircourtslitigation.org
    <http://%20www.faircourtslitigation.org>, serves as a clearinghouse
    of litigation from across the U.S. that either challenges or
    supports ethical rules aimed at keeping our judiciary free from
    partisan politics and outside influences. These include the
    financing of judicial elections, judicial campaign conduct rules,
    merit selection of judges, and rules governing the recusal of judges
    from cases.

    Did Election Fraud Help Win the Civil War? Part II
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=54144>

Posted on August 8, 2013 2:11 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=54144> 
by Richard Pildes <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=7>

In aprior post <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=53236> picked up by Volokh 
<http://www.volokh.com/>,Instapundit, <http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/> 
and others, I raised this question.  In light of further research, with 
much thanks to those who pointed me in the right directions, I now think 
the answer might very well be: yes.

I brought this issue up of historical curiosity about America's 
relatively unique experience of holding elections amidst a civil war.  
But the issue can be seen to raise enduring and profound questions about 
the tension that sometimes exists between democracy --- the processes of 
legitimate elections --- and liberalism --- the realization of moral 
values like freedom (see, e.g., Egypt today).  This is also a story 
about what it's like, in the early history of democracy, to run 
elections during a war when military forces are on the ground 
controlling territory --- including the polling locations.

On the history, there are two questions:  was there a substantial amount 
of fraud/intimidation and the like, and was it decisive enough to 
determine the balance of power and keep the House in the control of 
Lincoln's Republican Party --- despite the precipitous drop in his 
popularity (from even the 40% of the vote he received in 1860) during 
the first national elections after the Civil War commenced?

The second question now seems relatively easy to answer.  My initial 
source, Thomas Fleming's A Disease in the Public Mind: A New 
Understanding of Why We Fought the Civil War 
<http://www.amazon.com/Disease-Public-Mind-Understanding-Fought/dp/0306821265>, 
only alluded to fraud in Kentucky's elections.  I pointed out that even 
if fraud/intimidation flipped control of Kentucky's complete 
congressional delegation, that would not seem to have been enough to 
change partisan control of the House.  But it turns out the patterns of 
intimidation in Kentucky were present in the other border states with a 
large presence of Union troops --- in Missouri for sure, and very likely 
in Maryland as well.

With the American political system fragmenting under enormous stress, 
five political parties were represented in the 38th Congress (Dec., 
1863).  Republicans had 46% of the seats, Democrats 39%; the balance of 
power lay with the "Unconditional Unionists" -- all elected from border 
states. With their support, the Republicans kept control; if the more 
conservative "Unionist" candidates had filled these border-seat states, 
the Democrats would have controlled the House.  Thus, it's fair to 
conclude that, if the elections in the border states illegitimately kept 
Unionists out of these seats, Lincoln would have lost control of the 
war-Congress.

Now to the first question:  was there fraud/intimidation and the like, 
what was its nature and causes, and how credible are claims that these 
border-state wartime elections were effectively rigged to change 
outcomes?  Although I used the word "fraud," the better terms are 
probably intimidation and manipulation.  The legal mechanism involved 
the creation in the border states of new loyalty oaths as a requirement 
to be eligible to vote.  The enforcement "mechanism" for these laws was 
the presence of Union troops and loyal state militias at the polling 
locations in the border states. Even when the text of the laws limited 
disfranchisement to those who were serving in the Confederate army, the 
test for "loyalty" was in practice a wholly subjective one, enforced by 
Union troops, militias, and election judges.  They often refused to let 
anyone vote who was suspected of not being loyal to the Lincoln 
administration and the Union cause (here is one blogpost 
<http://eakycivilwar.blogspot.com/2011/08/arrest-of-daniel-k-weis-august-1862.html>that 
recounts an alleged family example).

Kentucky, for example, passed the "Expatriation Act of 1862," which 
barred from voting anyone who had "voluntarily" provided "aid, 
assistance, or comfort" to anyone in rebellion.  Union commanders 
required a further oath that dropped the requirement that the aid be 
voluntary --- which meant, concretely, that those whose property or 
labor had been impressed by Confederate forces could not take this oath. 
Here is yet another version of an oath that was required: "You do 
solemnly swear that you will support the Constitution of the United 
States, /the present administration/, and etc. etc."

But the point of these oaths was not so much what they said or 
required.  Even voters who swore the oaths were often forcibly removed 
from the polls if troops still suspected they were not sufficiently 
loyal.  Three days before the election, Major General Burnside imposed 
martial law/in the election proceedings themselves --- /purportedly to 
ensure order --- which gave troops control of the polls.

I won't go further into the details, but a rich, highly detailed study 
--- the best I have found --- is in Ch. 6 of /The American Ballot Box in 
the Mid-Nineteenth Century/, by the eminent historian, Richard F. Bensel 
(the whole book is eye-opening about 19th century American democracy).  
Reading his work, based on hearings before Congress involving disputed 
elections, it's impossible not to conclude that military forces and 
Union loyalists equated national loyalty with partisan political 
support; they did everything possible to ensure the electoral triumph of 
their allies in these critical border-state elections.  Here is just one 
way Bensel expresses this conclusion:

    In practice, because the Republican Party controlled the border
    state and national governments, loyalty to the Union became almost
    completely identified with support for the northern war effort and,
    through that identification, with the Republican Party.  And this is
    the way that federal troops and state militia came to see the
    matter.  Because of the conflation of party and nation, there was
    only one loyalist, and thus acceptable, outcome in an election:
    Republican victory.  Democrats could vote only in numbers that did
    not threaten that outcome.

Sobering stuff. Those interested might also consult William B. 
Hesseltine's /Lincoln's Plan of Reconstruction//, /which concludes, on 
this subject, that: "In 1862 it was the army-controlled votes of the 
Border States that overcame Democratic victories in the Northern states 
and enabled the Republicans to retain control over the House of 
Representatives."

I won't open up here my own thoughts on the meaning of all this.   I 
will leave that to readers for now.  For sending me down productive 
research paths in response to my initial post, I want to express deep 
gratitude to Charles Hallinan, William Burr, James Ridgway, Ned Foley, 
and others.

    "Ruling Revives Florida Review of Voting Rolls"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=54131>

Posted on August 8, 2013 7:43 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=54131> 
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/08/us/ruling-revives-florida-review-of-voting-rolls.html?hp&_r=0>: 
"Gov. Rick Scott 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/richard_l_scott/index.html?inline=nyt-per> 
of Florida, newly empowered by the United States Supreme Court's ruling 
<http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-96_6k47.pdf> in June that 
struck down 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/us/supreme-court-ruling.html> the 
heart of the Voting Rights Act 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/v/voting_rights_act_1965/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>, 
has ordered state officials to resume a fiercely contested effort to 
remove noncitizens from voting rolls."

I just want to remind readers what I said 
<http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/a-dtente-before-the-election/?ref=opinion> 
about looking for noncitizen voting in the NY Times before the election:

    While Republicans have been more to blame than Democrats,
    partisanship runs both ways. Democrats reflexively oppose efforts to
    deal with ineligible voters casting ballots, likely out of fear that
    the new requirements will make it harder for casual voters
    supporting Democrats to cast a ballot. They have adamantly opposed
    the efforts of Florida and other states
    <http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/us/politics/us-to-let-florida-use-homeland-security-data-for-voter-check.html>
    where Republican election officials want to remove noncitizens from
    the voting rolls. Noncitizen voting is a real, if small
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=10253>, problem: a Congressional
    investigation found that some noncitizens voted
    <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/keyraces98/stories/cahouse020598.htm>
    in the close 1996 House race in California between Robert K. Dornan,
    a Republican, and Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat, but not enough
    <http://articles.latimes.com/1997-05-11/news/mn-57795_1_indiana-vote> to
    affect the outcome. Unlike impersonation fraud, noncitizen voting
    cannot be dismissed as a Republican fantasy.

    We need to move beyond these voting wars by creating a neutral body
    to run federal elections and to ensure that all eligible voters, and
    only eligible voters, can cast a vote that will be accurately
    counted on Election Day. The agency could start with a program to
    register all eligible voters and provide a free national voter ID
    card with an optional thumbprint to prove identity.

    But we are very far from such a comprehensive solution. Congress
    took a baby step toward uniformity in 2002 when it created the
    Election Assistance Commission to advise states. But the commission
    was hobbled from the start by inadequate financing and opposition
    from some state officials <http://www.in.gov/sos/3700.htm>. Today,
    three months before the election, all four
    <http://www.eac.gov/about_the_eac/commissioners.aspx> of its seats
    are vacant <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=28623>.

    Sadly, broader bipartisan compromise
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=37833> appears unlikely
    <http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120729/NEWS0106/307290074/Overhaul-poll-laws-still-stalled?odyssey=nav%7Chead>.
    Short of a grand solution, we need a moratorium on additional
    partisan changes to election rules that cannot be implemented before
    November without a significant risk of disenfranchisement. The
    courts should put Pennsylvania's law on hold, and *Florida should
    hold off on its plan to remove noncitizens until the off-season*.
    Purging the rolls now risks removing many more eligible citizens
    <http://electionsmith.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/you-want-numbers-florida-secretary-of-state-voter-purge-netted-10-potential-noncitizens-who-may-have-voted/>
    than noncitizens.
