[EL] impact of new voting laws

Tue Nov 11 11:32:56 PST 2014

There is nothing inaccurate that I could see in this WaPo piece, even if the title is stronger than the claims in the piece.  And it even explains the caveats.

Based on the numbers so far, it still seems to me far more likely than not that the number of people who did not vote because of new laws was "perilously close" to the margin of victory in some states.  There is no certainty yet, of course, but the numbers are way too close for comfort.  This merits concern-as well as further study.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Best,

Wendy

I will write a longer response later or tomorrow, but in the meantime, I am not the only one who took your post (and especially its title) to its logical conclusion:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/catherine-rampell-voter-suppression-laws-are-already-deciding-elections/2014/11/10/52dc9710-6920-11e4-a31c-77759fc1eacc_story.html?wpmk=MK0000203
Catherine Rampell: Voter suppression laws are already deciding elections

Voter suppression efforts may have changed the outcomes of some of the closest races last week. And if the Supreme Court lets these laws stand, they will continue to distort election results going forward....

It's still early to definitively quantify the effects that these laws had on national turnout or on the outcomes of individual races. Initial estimates<http://www.electproject.org/2014g> suggesting that turnout rates sank to their lowest level since 1942<http://www.electproject.org/national-1789-present> look pretty damning, but so many factors can affect turnout (weather, ballot initiatives, the perceived closeness of races, etc.) that it's hard to isolate the effects of a single change. More data and statistical analysis expected next year will help.

In the meantime, some back-of-the-envelope calculations <http://www.brennancenter.org/blog/how-much-difference-did-new-voting-restrictions-make-yesterdays-close-races> from Wendy Weiser - director of the Democracy Program at New York University's Brennan Center for Justice - should at least give us pause: Right now, it looks like the margin of victory in some of the most competitive races around the country was as big as the likely "margin of disenfranchisement," as Weiser puts it. That is, more people were newly denied the right to vote than actually cast deciding ballots.

Rick,

I apologize for the delayed response; I am just now seeing your response to my blog post.

You appear to be responding to a claim I did not make in the post.  I did not say that new voting restrictions actually changed the outcomes of any races; all I said is that they could have-that in some races the margin of victory was close enough to the number of potentially affected voters to raise concerns.  I also made clear that we do not yet have enough data to fully assess the overall impact of these laws.  (Frankly, we may never have enough data to assess them all.)  But that doesn't mean that these numbers aren't interesting and shouldn't give us pause.  I do not claim that 307,500 (200K + 100K + 7.5K) voters were disenfranchised by the North Carolina law.  But the fact that 307,500 voters previously used voting mechanisms that are no longer available in North Carolina suggests that it is possible that the number of people who did not vote because of the new law could have come close to or even exceeded the 48,000 margin of victory.  (We know, for example, from this study<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2247144> by Paul Gronke and Charles Steward that 18.3% of the people who voted on the last Sunday in Florida in 2008 did not vote at all in 2012, suggesting that the loss of that early voting day did "dissuade[] turnout among the latest early voters.")

I am not sure I understand your point about turnout since I make no claims about turnout figures.  I agree that a turnout analysis should account for a variety factors in addition to new voting laws, ranging from demographics, how competitive the races were, who was on the ballot, and the weather.  I look forward to what I hope will be a range of studies on this topic.

Best,

Wendy

"Turnout Down in Texas, and Democrats Claim a Reason: Voter ID Law"<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=68184>
Posted on November 9, 2014 8:18 pm<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=68184> by Rick Hasen<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Ross Ramsey<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/09/us/turnout-down-in-texas-and-democrats-claim-a-reason-voter-id-law.html> (Texas Tribune/NYT):

Texas turnout, already the worst in the country, dropped. The state's population is larger than it was in 2010. More than 14 million Texans registered to vote, according to the secretary of state - up from 13.3 million in 2010. Turnout that year was 37.5 percent. Turnout this year (the numbers are unofficial) was 33.6 percent.

The people who did not show up appear to be Democrats. The Republican numbers were up in the governor's race, while the Democratic numbers were way down.

At a post-election discussion last week, Gilberto Hinojosa, chairman of the Texas Democratic Party<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/d/democratic_party/index.html?inline=nyt-org>, suggested the voter ID law might be to blame for the decline, implying that Democrats are more numerous among non-voters than Republicans. His opposite on the Republican side - Steve Munisteri - guffawed at that, instead crediting his own party's turnout efforts, the state's recent voting history and the national trend against Democrats.

No, Shelby County Did Not "Abrogate" South Carolina v. Katzenbach<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=68170>
Posted on November 9, 2014 3:32 pm<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=68170> by Rick Hasen<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Joel Heller has a very nice piece in the California Law Review Circuit, Subsequent History Omitted<http://www.californialawreview.org/assets/circuit/HELLER_375.pdf>, on Westlaw's aberrant coding of the Shelby County voting rights case as having abrogated the original case upholding voting rights preclearance, South Carolina v. Katzenbach.  From the piece's conclusion:

In labeling Katzenbach "abrogated by Shelby County," Westlaw not only made an unwarranted value judgment, but also potentially swayed the course of the law. Advocates dissuaded from relying on Katzenbach could be robbed of a valuable tool for arguing in favor of a revived § 5 or defending other provisions of the VRA, and lower courts may refrain from citing the case. Yet proponents of § 5 and others who believe in the relevance of history should not lay down this tool before it is taken away by a more authoritative source than Westlaw. There is no need to wave the white flag (or, in this case, the red flag) just yet. Law review authors and editors should likewise hesitate before following Westlaw's instruction to label Katzenbach "abrogated by Shelby County."Katzenbach, especially its recognition of the relevance of the past, retains an important vitality. "[H]istory did not end in 1965," and it did not end in 2013, either. Because history lives, this purported subsequent history should be omitted.

Let's see if Westlaw responds, as it should.

"How Much of a Difference Did New Voting Restrictions Make in Yesterday's Close Races?"<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=68164>
Posted on November 9, 2014 11:19 am<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=68164> by Rick Hasen<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Wendy Weiser writes<http://www.brennancenter.org/blog/how-much-difference-did-new-voting-restrictions-make-yesterdays-close-races> for the Brennan Center.  Once again, I'm skeptical.  Consider the analysis of North Carolina:

In the North Carolina Senate race, state house speaker Thom Tillis beat Senator Kay Hagen by a margin of 1.7 percent<http://elections.nytimes.com/2014/north-carolina-elections>, or about 48,000 votes.

At the same time, North Carolina's voters were, for the first time, voting under one of the harshest new election laws in the country - a law that Tillis helped to craft. Among other changes, the law slashed seven early voting days, eliminated same-day registration, and prohibited voting outside a voter's home precinct - all forms of voting especially popular among African Americans. While it is too early to assess the impact of the law this year, theElection Protection hotline<http://www.866ourvote.org/newsroom/releases/election-day-2014-democracy-should-not-be-this-hard> and other voter protection volunteers<http://thinkprogress.org/lbupdate/3588748/north-carolinas-new-election-restrictions-are-turning-away-voters/#lbu-1415129144> reported what appeared to be widespread problems both with voter registrations and with voters being told they were in the wrong precinct yesterday.

Some numbers from recent elections suggest that the magnitude of the problem may not be far from the margin of victory: In the last midterms in 2010, 200,000<http://www.thenation.com/blog/180608/north-carolina-will-determine-future-voting-rights-act> voters cast ballots during the early voting days now cut, according to a recent court decision<http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/NC241.pdf#page=97>. In 2012, 700,000voted during those days, including more than a quarter of all African-Americans who voted that year. In 2012, 100,000<http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/League1553.pdf> North Carolinians, almost a one-third<http://pdfserver.amlaw.com/nlj/nc_voting_usca4_20141001.pdf> of whom were African-American, voted using same-day registration, which was not available this year. And 7,500<http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/LOWVv.Howard.Complaint.pdf>voters cast their ballots outside of their home precincts that year.

The relevant question is: how many people who WANTED to vote this year DID NOT DO SO (and reasonably could not have done so) BECAUSE of the changes in the voting rules?  In other words, to know whether these restrictions were outcome determinative we would have to control for:

1. a potential decline in turnout for reasons unrelated to these laws (e.g., less enthusiasm in a midterm election year without an African-American candidate on the ballot); and

2. the extent to which voters who voted early on days which were cut (including through same day voter registration) wanted to vote but reasonably could not have voted under the alternative early voting days, absentee balloting, or voting on election day. There is some evidence that early voting turnout may have increased in North Carolina despite the fewer number of days because the hoursof voting were extended, making it easier for some working voters to vote before or after work.

I'm not saying Wendy's conclusion is wrong-only that it is unproven and would take a much more nuanced analysis than this.
