Breaking News: Supreme Court Decides Arizona Election Case
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51680>
Posted on June 17, 2013 7:22 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51680> by
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
The opinion is by Justice Scalia affirming, requiring Arizona to accept
the federal form for voter registration (under Congress's Elections
Clause powers). Justices Thomas and Alito dissented. [No Shelby County
opinon today.]
Here <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=48440>was my original post on the
case, "Sleeper Case of the Year?", where I wrote: "This is one of those
cases where if the Supreme Court affirms the result in this case (that
Arizona must accept the federal form), it will be no big deal, but if
the Court reverses it would mark a major change in U.S. election law."
More to come when the opinion posts.

"IRS Supervisor in DC Scrutinized Tea Party Cases"

AP:

Holly Paz, who until recently was a top deputy in the division that
handles applications for tax-exempt status, told congressional
investigators she reviewed 20 to 30 applications. Her assertion
contradicts initial claims by the agency that a small group of
agents working in an office in Cincinnati were solely responsible
for mishandling the applications.
Paz, however, provided no evidence that senior IRS officials ordered
agents to target conservative groups or that anyone in the Obama
administration outside the IRS was involved.

"Internal Revenue Service employees in Ohio, who singled out
