Blogging will be light through New Years–-regular ELB News and 
Commentary mailings for Election Law listserv members will resume on 
January 6.

Once again it has been a busy year for the Election Law Blog and 2015 
promises some big news in the area of voting rights, campaign finance, 
filibuster reform/political polarization and other topics. More posts 
from ELB regular commentators are on tap as well.

I wish all my readers a safe, healthy and happy 2015.

Below the fold you’ll find a list of articles and opeds that I’ve 
published (or that were released in draft) in 2014.  Thanks for reading!

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editorial 
<http://www.jsonline.com/news/a-gop-attack-on-the-government-accountability-board-b99410301z1-286233451.html>: 
“Republicans in Wisconsin have been out to get the Government 
Accountability Board for a while now — and some of them believea recent 
audit of the state’s unique ethics and elections 
agency<http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/republicans-seize-on-audit-critical-of-state-elections-board-b99407762z1-285625221.html>may 
provide an opening. Let’s hope not. The non-partisan GAB, run by retired 
judges, remains the best model for supervising partisan elections and 
ethical behavior. The idea of handing those tasks back to the very 
partisans being supervised, as was the case in the past, is ridiculous.’
