[EL] Mother Nature, Terrorism and Elections

[Goldfeder, Jerry H.]

Thank you Rick for posting this morning's important NY Times story about Senator Chuck Schumer's bill requiring states to enact contingency plans for elections.   For those interested in the subject, I suggest three that I have written, and one by Steven Huefner from Moritz, who I believe wrote the very first post-9/11 article on the subject.
