    Secretary of State William Gardner takes a dim view of congressional
    efforts to address with federal legislation the long lines some
    states saw at polling places during the November election.

    In his experience, he said, "One-size-fits-all usually fits very few."

    "State of the Union guest Desiline Victor, 102, will be the face of
    voting delays at address" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47149>

    "She's the American voter story of 2012," said Judith Browne Dianis,
    co-director of the Advancement Project
    <http://www.advancementproject.org/> civil rights group. "She had
    the tenacity and the commitment to stay in line, but we know there
    were tens of thousands of others who didn't get to vote."

    Dianis expects President Obama to touch on voting rights issues in
    his speech. He did so on election night and again during his
    inaugural address
    <http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/president-obamas-second-inaugural-address-transcript/2013/01/21/f148d234-63d6-11e2-85f5-a8a9228e55e7_story_3.html>,
    when he said, "Our journey is not complete until no citizen is
    forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote."

    When the White House contacted her organization looking for people
    who might represent the face of the problem, Dianis provided them
    with several possibilities. And that's what led to tickets to
    Washington and a new outfit for the event for Victor. She will also
    visit the White House for a reception before the speech.

<http://www.scotusblog.com/2013/02/shelby-county-v-holder-reasons-to-believe/>have 
written posts for SCOTUSBlog's new series on the Shelby County case.  
Mike Pitts' work in this area is always  excellent.  But readers of this

for years about election law issues. And while we rarely agree, I find 
him to be very smart and careful.  You should read his post.

    What To Do About the Texas Redistricting Case?
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47141>

Posted on February 11, 2013 6:22 pm

<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

The Supreme Court's decision over the constitutionality of section 5 and 
the Court's failure to take action on Texas's appeal in its section 5 
redistricting case has put the three-judge federal court in San Antonio 
hearing the section 2 challenge to Texas's redistricting in a bind. It 
is hard to know what, if anything, that court should do while it waits 
on SCOTUS.  It has now issued this very detailed order 
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/Feb-11-advisory.pdf> 
trying to make sense of what might come next depending upon what SCOTUS 
does.

    "The Separation of Electoral Powers"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47138>

Posted on February 11, 2013 6:14 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47138> by Rick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Ned Foley has posted this draft on SSRN (/Montana Law Review/).  Here is 
the abstract:

    This essay argues that the political theory of republicanism needs
    to be updated to take account of the distinct role that election law
    plays in the establishing of the government that makes and enforces
    the rest of the laws for society. Updating republicanism in this way
    requires adding a new dimension to the separation of powers, a
    traditionally republican idea. The new dimension is to separate the
    electoral powers of government from the three traditional powers:
    legislative, executive, and judicial. In addition, the electoral
    powers should be subdivided into three distinct institutions in the
    same way that the regular powers of government are. The essay
    describes the three new electoral institutions that would be created
    in accordance with this updating of republican theory. The essay
    also considers the distinctive institutional innovations that have
    occurred, since the development of traditional republican theory,
    with the rise of administrative law. Accordingly, this essay also
    sketches a fourth electoral institution to play an intermediary
    administrative role between the legislation and execution of
    election laws.

    "Virtue Over Party: Samuel Randall's Electoral Heroism and Its
    Continuing Importance" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47135>

Posted on February 11, 2013 6:11 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47135> by Rick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Ned Foley has postedthis draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2210388> on SSRN of 
a paper well worth reading.  Here is the abstract:

    This keynote address for the symposium on "Foxes, Henhouses, and
    Commissions: Assessing the Nonpartisan Model in Election
    Administration, Redistricting, and Campaign Finance," at UC Irvine
    on September 14, 2012 has three parts. First, it explains why
    institutional reform, while necessary, is not by itself sufficient
    to achieve impartial governance of the electoral process in the
    public interest. Instead, institutional reform must be supplemented
    by an adequate measure of nonpartisan political virtue, in pursuit
    of the public interest, on behalf of elected and appointed officials
    responsible for the governance of the electoral process. Second, to
    illustrate this kind of electoral virtue, the middle (and main) part
    of this essay tells the largely forgotten --- but highly significant
    --- story of Samuel Randall's conduct as Speaker of the U.S. House
    of Representatives on March 1, 1877, at the crucial climactic moment
    of the disputed Hayes-Tilden presidential election. As eyewitnesses
    understood, Randall's resistance to hardliners within his own party
    averted the risk that the congressional counting of Electoral Votes
    would not be complete for the March 4 deadline for inaugurating the
    new president. Moreover, if March 4 had arrived with both Hayes and
    Tilden claiming the authority of Commander-in-Chief based on
    different interpretations of the constitutional consequences of an
    incomplete Electoral Count, the nation would have suffered a
    genuinely severe constitutional crisis. Therefore, Randall's
    nonpartisan conduct to prevent the possibility of that
    constitutional crisis serves as an exemplary "profile in electoral
    courage," to which contemporary and future politicians can aspire
    (if they, too, are put in a position where they must choose between
    partisanship and the public good when making a decision about the
    governance of the electoral process). The third (and final) part of
    the essay briefly explores how civics education, both in schools and
    in the culture more broadly, can invoke this and similar examples of
    electoral virtue, in an effort to cultivate an atmosphere in which
    other "profiles in electoral courage" are more likely to occur.

    "A Deference Theory of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47132>

Posted on February 11, 2013 6:09 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47132> by Rick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Arpit Garg has posted this draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2209636> on SSRN. 
Here is the abstract:

    Although Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) is one of the most
    documented topics in legal scholarship, the academy has missed a
    crucial reading: a statute with an administrative agency, the
    Department of Justice (DOJ), entitled to Chevron-style deference.
    Because the topic is virtually unexplored, this Note is the first to
    outline how we might understand a deference theory of the VRA. In
    addition to articulating the theoretical case and exploring the
    historical evidence of deference in the Supreme Court, this Note
    offers a descriptive/normative explanation for the Court's current
    hostile relationship towards the DOJ on Section 5 voting rights
    issues, what I term 'anti-deference.' Such insights represent the
    tip of the iceberg for what a deference theory of the VRA might unearth.
