I get pitches all the time from people with no connection to election 
law to write guest posts for me---presumably to get links included on my 
blog to content for things they want to sell.  Sometimes there is a 
tangential relation to my blog, as when I've been pitched posts like 
"The 10 Dumbest Things Presidents Have Said."  At least the person 
making the pitch made an effort to connect the content to my blog.

But I got this one today:

    Good morning! Going through your blog "http://electionlawblog.org"
    was an experience of immense pleasure.
    I feel my article on "Law" will be of huge help for your visitors.
    So I believe it would be a great thing if you agree to accept the
    article as guest post. You can also provide me with certain topics
    on which you want articles to be written.

While I won't be accepting the guest post, I do expect to give many 
experiences of  "immense pleasure" in the future through my writing 
about "Law."

The Voter Update 
<http://www.thevoterupdate.com/articles/2013/8_27_13_preregistration.php>: 
"Gov. Pat McCrory signed a sweeping elections overhaul bill 
<http://www.thevoterupdate.com/articles/2013/8_12_13_h589.php> on Aug. 
12, and on Sept. 1 one of the first provisions of that new law will go 
into effect. Beginning on that day, 16- and 17-year-olds will no longer 
be allowed to pre-register to vote....Since its implementation in 2010, 
the pre-registration program has been successful at engaging young 
people in the political process. More than 150,000 future voters have 
taken advantage of pre-registration,with the majority of those 
registering as independents <http://thevoterupdate.com/trail/?p=787> 
instead of choosing to align with any political party. If nothing else, 
these figures could portend interesting changes to our two-party system 
in the future."
