AJC 
<http://www.ajc.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/georgia-judge-declines-to-intervene-in-missing-vot/nhtD6/>:

    A Georgia judge declined Tuesday to intervene in Georgia's voter
    registration process, letting stand existing measures by state and
    local election officials to help applicants ahead of the Nov. 4
    election.

    The decision came after a two-hour hearing Friday, during which
    Fulton County Superior Court Judge Christopher Brasher seemed
    skeptical of a lawsuit that sought what he called an "extraordinary
    legal remedy."

    "The Intratextual Independent 'Legislature' and the Elections
    Clause" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=67536>

Posted onOctober 28, 2014 10:22 am 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=67536>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Michael Morley has postedthis 
draft<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2515096>on 
SSRN.  Here is the abstract:

    Article I's Elections Clause and Article II's Presidential Electors
    Clause confer authority to regulate congressional and presidential
    elections, respectively, specifically to State "legislatures,"
    rather than to States as a whole. In the pending case Arizona State
    Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, the
    U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether the Elections Clause allows a
    State to remove the authority to draw congressional districts from
    its legislature, and confer it instead in an independent commission.
    Its ruling will have tremendous ramifications not only for similar
    redistricting commissions across the nation, but for a wide range of
    other doctrines, principles, and protections that stem from the
    Elections Clause and Presidential Electors Clause.

    Intratextualism is a powerful technique for interpreting the
    Constitution that can yield valuable insights into the proper
    meaning of the term "Legislature," as it appears in both provisions.
    A careful intratextual analysis of the Constitution as a whole
    reveals that the term "Legislature" is best understood as referring
    to the entity within each state comprised of representatives that
    has the general authority to pass laws, and excludes executive
    officials, judges, and independent agencies or commissions. Such an
    interpretation is bolstered by both the original understanding of
    the term "Legislature," as well as the "independent state
    legislature" doctrine, which recognized that the U.S. Constitution
    directly confers authority to regulate federal elections directly
    and specifically on institutional legislatures, and a State
    constitution may not impose substantive limits on the scope of that
    authority. Thus, to the extent laws establishing independent
    commissions purport to prohibit State legislatures from regulating
    federal elections or drawing congressional districts, they are
    unconstitutional under the Elections Clause.

FairVote

Andrew Tutt has postedthis draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2508332>on SSRN 
(/Columbia Law Review Sidebar/). Here is the abstract:

    In McCutcheon v. FEC, the Supreme Court tightened First Amendment
    limits on Congress's authority to regulate campaign financing.
    McCutcheon ostensibly left in place the old regime that allows
    campaign-finance regulation so long as it strikes at quid pro quo
    corruption or its appearance. But two recurring themes in the
    McCutcheon opinion indicate that this standard will from hereon be
    more difficult to meet. One is that campaign-finance laws prevent
    individuals from participating meaningfully in democratic change.
    The second is that Congress cannot be trusted to pass
    campaign-finance laws because such laws are tainted by
    self-interest. As Chief Justice Roberts wrote in McCutcheon's
    plurality opinion, "[T]hose who govern should be the last people to
    help decide who should govern." This Essay argues that these two
    themes actually chart a way forward for those who wish to see
    greater regulation of campaign financing. If Congress were to hold a
    national referendum to reenact the limits the Supreme Court struck
    down in McCutcheon, those limits would be constitutional even though
    the same limits passed by Congress were not. The reason is that
    limits backed by a popular vote would satisfy McCutcheon's concerns
    with congressional self-dealing while vindicating directly its
    concern with maximizing each individual's opportunity to take an
    active part in democratic self-governance. Moreover, an answer from
    the People themselves to the most relevant question in any
    campaign-finance case --- whether a practice gives rise to the
    appearance of corruption --- is the best way one could imagine for
    discovering whether it does so. One might say that McCutcheon
    literally calls for a referendum on campaign finance. This Essay
    explores this notion in depth and closes by assessing the
    constitutionality and practicality of the referendum option.
