    "Undercover conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe releases video in
    NC" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=67713>

News and Observer 
<http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/10/30/4278698_undercover-conservative-filmmaker.html?rh=1>:

With a close election, it was inevitable that conservative filmmaker 
James O'Keefe would bring his hidden cameras and actors to North Carolina.

    His goal here: Prove that political campaigns are OK with
    non-citizens voting in the election. In his new video, a woman poses
    as a Brazilian-born immigrant who asks campaign volunteers outside
    early voting sites if she can vote.

    She admits to being in the country illegally but says she has a
    voter registration card. O'Keefe's premise is riffing off a State
    Board of Elections audit that found 1,425 registered voters who are
    likely non-citizens
    <http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/10/25/5266093/hundreds-flagged-in-audit-of-nc.html>.

    O'Keefe didn't get anyone with major campaigns to take the bait, nor
    does the video show any poll workers allowing noncitizens to vote.
    He also doesn't show anyone in the Triangle, although the video does
    show O'Keefe entering a Durham County early voting site.

Release 
<http://jurist.org/forum/2014/10/charles-rhodes-texas-voterid.php>: "-- 
Today, the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, Columbus Coalition 
for the Homeless, and Ohio Democratic Party---successful plaintiffs in 
previous complaints to protect Ohioans' voting rights---filed a proposed 
Second Supplemental Complaint against Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted 
and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine asking U.S. District Judge Algenon 
Marbley of the Southern District of Ohio to declare portions of Ohio 
Substitute Senate Bills 205 (S.B. 205) and 216 (S.B. 216) invalid for 
violating the federal Voting Rights Act and the Constitution, risking 
the disenfranchisement of thousands of Ohio voters who may cast absentee 
or provisional ballots, and intentionally making it more difficult for 
many African-American, Latino, and Democractic-Party-member Ohioans to 
vote."

    "Against Residency Districts" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=67704>

Posted onOctober 31, 2014 7:33 am

<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Mike 
Pitts<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2513495>has 
posted this draft on SSRN (forthcoming, /University of Chicago Legal 
Forum/).  Here is the abstract:

    This article argues against laws which mandate that candidates and
    elected officials reside in a particular geographic area as a
    condition of election or office-holding (i.e., residency
    requirements). The article considers various rationales for
    residency requirements --- some of which have been endorsed by
    federal and state courts --- and concludes that those rationales
    by-and-large do not hold up under scrutiny. The article also
    considers the costs of residency requirements and concludes that the
    costs of such requirements outweigh any purported benefits. The
    article then ponders why residency requirements have continued to
    exist despite weak justifications for their use, and concludes that
    residency requirements likely persist because they insulate
    incumbent partisans from electoral competition. As such, a politics
    as markets approach might suggest the elimination of residency
    requirements.

Looking forward to reading this!  This has been my position, but 
obviously not (from me) based in a politics as markets approach.

    "They're Not Allowed to Talk. But Candidates and PACs Are Brazenly

Key National Journal piece: 
<http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/they-re-not-allowed-to-talk-but-candidates-and-pacs-are-brazenly-communicating-all-the-time-20141030>

    The Tillis memo shows just how brazen politicians and their allies
    have become. What started as vaguely outlining ad buys through the
    media and posting minutes-long "B-roll" footage of a candidate on
    their website has entered a new phase in which campaigns and parties
    offer insight into their needs as if they were sitting in a
    boardroom personally explaining it to the men and women who run
    outside groups.

    "Because we cannot coordinate, our campaign is often in the position
    of reacting to things our allies do after they have done them," Shaw
    wrote, without irony, in the memo. His solution: opening up his own
    political playbook and trying to indirectly call the plays for his
    allies.

    "North Carolina Campaigns Prepare for Potential Recount"

Roll Call: 
<http://atr.rollcall.com/elections-2014-north-carolina-campaigns-prepare-for-potential-recount/>

    The competitive North Carolina Senate race will cost more than $100
    million by Election Day, and that price tag could climb further as
    both parties prepare to spend even more if the race becomes too
    close to call.

    The campaigns for both Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and Republican state
    Speaker Thom Tillis confirmed to CQ Roll Call they are making
    preparations in case of a recount in one of the country's most
    competitive races. Recent polls show a tied race, and this week the
    Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call moved the race to Tossup
    <http://media.cq.com/pub/2013/race-ratings-rc/?pos=opol> this week
    from Tilts Democratic.

    "It'd be kind of silly for us not to [prepare]," said Todd Poole,
    the executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party.

""People always ask me one question all the time: 'How do I know that I 
won't be found out as a supporter of what you're doing?'...We run all of 
this stuff through nonprofit organizations that are insulated from 
having to disclose donors. There is total anonymity. People don't know 
who supports us."

---Lobbyist Richard Berman, 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/31/us/politics/pr-executives-western-energy-alliance-speech-taped.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0>secretly 
recorded giving advice to oil and gas industry executives on demonizing 
their opponents, as provided to Eric Lipton of the NYT.
