Then you are in luck. Late this month, the 2013 supplement to
Lowenstein, Hasen, and Tokaji, Election Law--Cases and Materials
<http://www.cap-press.com/books/isbn/9781611631784/Election-Law-Fifth-Edition>
(5th edition 2012) will be posted and made available free of charge to
all instructors assigning LHT to their students. The 2013 Supplement
will include all developments over the last year, including an edited
version of the /Shelby County/ case and a revamping of relevant
materials on the Voting Rights Act following the Supreme Court's
decision to hold part of the Act unconstitutional.
The Supplement also will include an edited version and notes following
the opinion of the lower court in /McCutcheon v. FEC/, a campaign
finance case the Supreme Court will consider in October. (The Supreme
Court's per curiam decision out of Montana affirming /Citizens United/
appears as well.)
The new supplement also includes other developments in election law
through July 1, 2013.

"How 31,385 people fund national elections"
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=52486>

The Fix:
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/06/28/how-31385-people-fund-national-elections/>
Everyone knows that a relatively small number of wealthy people
donate the lion's share of money to political campaigns. But, you
probably never suspected just how small that group actually is.
Thanks to the amazing Sunlight Foundation
<http://sunlightfoundation.com/>, we now know that just 31,385
people --- one tenth of one percent of the overall U.S. population
--- are responsible for nearly 30 percent of the $6 billion (yes,
billion with a "b") contributed to federal campaigns and committees
in the 2012 election.

Three Cheers for Justin Levitt! <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=52478>

Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
When Justin agreed to guest blog for me, we both knew it would likely
include the week of the /Shelby County/ decision. But the sheer amount
of writing on that case and other Supreme Court and election law
developments last week was extraordinary.
Thanks to Justin for being comprehensive, entertaining, enlightening,
and indefatigable.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
