    "Author of elections report cited by Poilievre contradicts minister
    on voter fraud" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=59322>

CBC News 
<http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/author-of-elections-report-cited-by-poilievre-contradicts-minister-on-voter-fraud-1.2563659>:

      The author of a report cited repeatedly to justify cracking down
    on potential voter fraud says the Harper government is
    misrepresenting his report and ignoring his recommendations.

    Indeed, Harry Neufeld says there's not a shred of evidence that
    there have been more than "a handful" of cases of deliberate voter
    fraud in either federal or provincial elections.

    "I never said there was voter fraud," Neufeld said in an interview
    with The Canadian Press.

    "Nor did the Supreme Court, who looked at this extremely carefully."

Looks like the voting wars are contagious, even crossing borders.

Henry Noyes has written anew casebook

I've seen the table of contents and it looks like great coverage.
