I had the great honor to participate inthis exceptional campaign finance
symposium <http://www.nyulawreview.org/issues/volume-89-symposium>in
May. The NYU Law Review has now published papers associated with the
symposium, online. My own contribution
<http://www.nyulawreview.org/issues/volume-89-online-symposium/electoral-integrity-confidence-game>reflects
on the electoral integrity concept behind Robert Post's Tanner
Lectures,/Citizens Divided
<http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674729001>/, and the
differing roles of democratic theory and constitutional law.
But the symposium's contributions are both broad and deep, including
work byJohanna Kalb and Burt Neuborne

7th Circuit Stays Mandate: WI ID Law Formally Blocked for This
Election <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66998>
Posted onOctober 16, 2014 2:07 pm
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66998>byJustin Levitt
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=4>
Close watchers of the fight over Wisconsin's ID lawnoted last week
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66650>that there was a slight procedural
hiccup.
The trial court issued apermanent injunction
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/frankvwalker.pdf>blocking
the ID law. That decision was thenstayed by the 7^th Circuit
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/7th-wi-order.pdf>; the
7^th Circuit's stay, in turn, wasvacated by SCOTUS
<http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14a352_i42k.pdf>.
Separately, the 7^th Circuit also issued an orderreversing the trial
court on the merits
<http://media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/rssExec.pl?Submit=Display&Path=Y2014/D10-06/C:14-2059:J:Easterbrook:aut:T:fnOp:N:1429869:S:0>;
though it seemed likely that the Supreme Court would similarly press
pause on that order, that order had not yet been blocked -- which meant
that technically, whenever the 7^th Circuit issued its mandate, the
Wisconsin ID law would be implemented for this election.
Yesterday, the 7^th Circuit formallyissued a stay of its own mandate
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/20141016-7th-cir.pdf>,
pending the disposition of a cert petition (or a failure to file such a
petition). That was the last technical shoe to fall, and it ensures
that the Wisconsin ID lawwillformally be blocked for this election.
After the election, the law will be back in place unless the Supreme
Court decides to hear the case and overturn the 7^th Circuit's decision
on the merits.

Speaking of Wisconsin, Barry Burden, David Canon, Kenneth Mayer, and
Donald Moynihandefend Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board
<http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/keep-hands-off-the-gab-b99371374z1-279367362.html>,
the regulatory body of former judges overseeing state elections, against
legislative attack. Yes, it's not directly accountable to the public or
incumbent politicians -- but that seems precisely the point.

True, that's not the title ofFairVote's newest piece
<http://www.fairvote.org/research-and-analysis/blog/what-if-we-used-the-electoral-college-to-elect-governors/>,
imagining how gubernatorial elections would be different if they were
decided with winner-take-all contributions from each county (like the
Electoral College). But it's clearly the implication.
