North Carolina Asks Chief Justice Roberts for Interim Immediate Stay
in Voting Case <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66316>
Posted onOctober 3, 2014 10:34 am
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66316>byRick Hasen
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
This morning I reported onan injunction
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66308>just issued by the federal district
court in the North Carolina voting case. The injunction was issued while
the Supreme Court considers a stay of the 4th Circuit's order.
Well the state of North Carolina is not happy that the plaintiffs asked
for this immediate injunction.They have filed this letter
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/nc-letter.pdf>, asking
the Chief Justice to impose an immediate stay while the Court considers
what to do with the stay request (response due Sunday at 5). They now
want the stay to apply not just to the 4th Circuit's order but to the
new district court injunction.
You can readmy earlier analysis<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66256>of
NC's stay request, which I think has a pretty good chance of being
granted. An interim order from the Chief Justice could come today,
although with it already being Friday afternoon on the East Coast
perhaps this is not really necessary, especially because the district
court has put implementation of the new injunction on the slow track.

what they call an unprecedented and costly campaign to have ineligible
people purged from voter lists and recruit their own election judges
before November."

National Constitution Center Podcast on Voting Rights Fights with
Jeffrey Rosen, John Eastman and Me <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66310>

<http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2014/10/podcast-eastman-and-hasen-on-the-voting-rights-debate/>.
In that interview, John Eastman pretty much suggests Section 2 of the
Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional unless it is read to require proof
of racially discriminatory intent (kind of defeats the whole point of
section 2 one might say.)

Federal District Court in NC Slows Implementation of 4th Circuit
Order <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66308>

order
<http://images.politico.com/global/2014/10/03/ncsamedaydcorder.pdf> in
the federal district court requiring North Carolina to restore same day
voter registration and the counting of out-of-precinct voting. The 4th
Circuit had directed the district court to do that, reversing the
district court's earlier refusal to do so. But....
North Carolina has appealed to the Supreme Court, and Chief Justice
Roberts has indicated he wants a response on the emergency stay order by
Sunday at 5 pm. That order does not automatically stay anything. But....
Today's district court order puts things off until at least Tuesday: "IT
IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties appear before the court on Tuesday
October 7, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. in Winston-Salem, Courtroom # 2 for a
status conference to address how Defendants intend to comply with this
Order."
By then, the Supreme Court could well have reversed the 4th Circuit's
order, mooting the issue.

"Judicial Redistricting and the Article I State Legislature"
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66289>
Posted onOctober 3, 2014 7:45 am
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66289>byRick Hasen
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
This Saul Zipkin
piece<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2504570>from
2003 could be useful in thinking about the Arizona redistricting case
the Supreme Court has agreed to take. Here is the abstract:
Article I of the Constitution commits primary responsibility for the
setting of time, place, and manner of congressional elections to the
"legislature" of each state, a delegation mirrored in the
presidential election context of Article II. Recently, questions
have arisen about the meaning of this constitutional commitment, in
Bush v. Gore's presidential election context and in the controversy
over the Mississippi congressional redistricting, which the Supreme
Court is hearing this term in Branch v. Smith. Ultimately, the
question is whether the term "legislature" inherently delegates
these powers only to the actual state legislature itself, or refers
more generally to the state's legislative power, thus admitting of
such mechanisms as executive veto, popular referendum, and equitable
judicial intervention to fill legislative gaps. In answering this
question, this Note examines the means used to define the term
"legislature" in other constitutional provisions, and derives a test
to evaluate the nature of the various constitutional delegations.
This approach demonstrates that in the Article I context, any
exercise of ex ante lawmaking would be valid, a finding that would
legitimate judicial redistricting in the legislature's stead.
