Gannett reports 
<http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013301090015&gcheck=1>: 
"South Carolina spent $3.5 million defending its voter identification 
law against government allegations of discrimination, while other states 
with similar laws faced no such opposition, the state's top attorney 
said recently in court papers.The discrepancy proves the 1965 Voting 
Rights Act treats some states unfairly, South Carolina Attorney General 
Alan Wilson wrote in a brief supporting a challenge to two of the act's 
provisions."

    2011-12 Election Litigation: Link Fixed
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=46039>

Posted on January 9, 2013 8:00 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=46039>

On Monday I blogged about election litigation rates 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=45951> and linked to my spreadsheet of 
2011-12 election litigation.  A glitch caused that link to be wrong. 
I've corrected the link in the original post, and you can also access 
the data via this link.

Bloomberg 
<http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-09/boeing-ge-update-house-donations-after-backing-losers.html?alcmpid=politics>: 
"The political action committee of Boeing Co. (BA) 
<http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/BA:US> last year donated $3,000 to 
then-Representative Larry Kissell's bid for re-election. Thirteen days 
after the North Carolina Democrat lost, the PAC cut a $1,000 check to 
Richard Hudson, the Republican who ousted him. General Electric Co. (GE) 
<http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GE:US>'s PAC made five separate $1,000 
donations to Republican Chip Cravaack during the Minnesotan's first term 
in Congress. Two weeks after Cravaack lost, GE's PAC gave $1,000 to Rick 
Nolan, the Democrat who defeated him."
