    Lederman on the Qualifications Clause Issue in Today's Supreme Court
    Election Case <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51697>

Posted on June 17, 2013 12:14 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51697> 
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

In my piece <http://thebea.st/12QTSz0>today on Arizona v. Inter-Tribal 
Council, I express concern about what the Court says about congressional 
power to set the manner of elections but lack of congressional power to 
alter state /qualifications /of voters.  I referenced an important post 
by Marty Lederman on the topic, who expresses even greater concern than 
I have about the issue.  You can now read (and must read) Marty's post 
at SCOTUSBlog, Pyrrhic victory for federal government in Arizona voter 
registration case? 
<http://www.scotusblog.com/2013/06/pyrrhic-victory-for-federal-government-in-arizona-voter-registration-case/>

I will have to give much more thought to Marty's issues --- it usually 
takes more than a few hours to fully digest Supreme Court opinions. But 
I expect that the issues Marty raises will be the subject of major 
debate among election law scholars and courts in the next few years.
