Rumors <https://twitter.com/ryanobles/status/476526787594170369> say no 
after Cantor's surprising defeat 
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/eric-cantor-faces-tea-party-challenge-tuesday/2014/06/10/17da5d20-f092-11e3-bf76-447a5df6411f_story.html> 
in the primary.

What will Cantor's loss mean for the passage 
<https://twitter.com/derektmuller/status/476525283462643713> of the 
Voting Rights Amendments Act? I think it makes VRAA passage even less 
likely as the leadership will be ever fearful of attacks from the right.

    "What's Wrong with New York?" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=62235>

Josh Marshall 
<http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/whats-wrong-with-new-york> asks a 
good question about election administration in NY: "So I bash 
Republicans in Ohio and North Carolina for restricting early voting. And 
yet I live in a state in which there's no early voting at all. In fact, 
New York state might at best be described as living in a voting world of 
two or three decades ago."
