    "The Voting Wars Heat Up: Will the Supreme Court allow states to
    restrict voting for partisan advantage?"

I have writtenthis new 
piece<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/09/voting_restrictions_may_reach_the_supreme_court_from_ohio_wisconsin_north.html>for 
/Slate/.  It begins:

    The fights in our states over how hard or easy it is to vote have
    been filling the courts and are headed toward the Supreme Court. The
    cases range from voter ID laws to early voting rules and beyond.
    Already there is a case from Ohio
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65883>, with ones from Wisconsin
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65892>, North Carolina
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65906>, and Texas
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65734> potentially on the way in a
    matter of days or weeks. The stakes are high, not only for the lazy
    2014 midterm elections but also for the 2016 presidential election
    and for the protection of voting rights in the next decade.

    The fact that the cases are making it to the Supreme Court at about
    the same time is no surprise. Over the past decade, in the period I
    have called "the voting wars
    <http://www.amazon.com/The-Voting-Wars-Election-Meltdown/dp/0300182031>,"
    we have seen both an increase in restrictive voting rights
    legislation passed by Republican legislatures, such as voter ID
    laws, and litigation from both Democrats and Republicans to
    manipulate the election system to their advantage. In 2008, the
    Supreme Court rejected
    <http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-21.pdf> a
    constitutional challenge to Indiana's voter identification law, and
    in 2013, the Supreme Court in the /Shelby County /case
    <http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-96_6k47.pdf> struck
    down a key portion of the Voting Rights Act providing that states
    with a history of racial discrimination in voting get approval
    before making changes to their voting rules and procedures.

    Freed by these rulings, Republican legislatures have imposed tougher
    voter ID laws, cutbacks in early voting, limitations on voter
    registration, and other rules that make it harder to cast a valid
    ballot, such as North Carolina's rule
    <http://www.thenation.com/blog/175441/north-carolina-passes-countrys-worst-voter-suppression-law> saying
    that if a voter casts a ballot at the wrong precinct, it cannot be
    counted for /any /races, even those for which the voter is eligible
    to vote.

    Voting rights advocates have sued to block all or parts of these laws...

    "Campaign Finance, Federalism, and the Case of the Long-Armed Donor"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65999>

Posted onSeptember 28, 2014 8:27 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65999>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Todd Pettys has postedthis draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2502671>on SSRN 
(forthcoming, /University of Chicago Law Review Dialogue/).  Here is the 
abstract:

    In its ruling last Term in McCutcheon v. FEC, the Court struck down
    federal campaign-finance laws that limited the aggregate amount of
    money that Shaun McCutcheon and other would-be campaign donors could
    give to a variety of political committees and to individuals running
    for Congress in states and districts other than their own. Chief
    Justice Roberts began his opinion for the plurality by declaring
    that "[t]here is no right more basic in our democracy than the right
    to participate in electing our political leaders." Retired justice
    John Paul Stevens has argued that the Court's ruling in McCutcheon
    is "a grossly incorrect decision" because (among other things) the
    case was about "picking other people's congressmen, not your own."
    In this essay for the University of Chicago Law Review Dialogue, I
    argue two things. First, I contend that Stevens's criticism of
    McCutcheon's opening line is at odds with the understanding of
    American federalism that Stevens championed while on the Court and
    is far more compatible with a conception of federalism that he
    explicitly rejected. Second, even looking at matters through the
    federalism lens that Stevens now endorses, such that one regards
    McCutcheon as trying to influence the selection of other people's
    representatives, I argue that any effort to restrict McCutcheon's
    and other long-armed donors' campaign spending on those grounds
    would face an uphill First Amendment climb.

    Justice Ginsburg Reflects on Bush v. Gore, Citizens United and

TNR 
interview<http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119578/ruth-bader-ginsburg-interview-retirement-feminists-jazzercise>of 
the Justice by Jeff Rosen:

    JR: And you've discouraged separate concurrences.

    RBG: Yes.

    JR: Why is that?

    RBG: The experience I don't want to see repeated occurred in /Bush
    /v. /Gore/. The Court divided five to four. There were four
    separate dissents, and that confused the press. In fact, some of the
    reporters announced that the decision was seven-two. There was no
    time to get together. That case was accepted by the Court on
    Saturday, briefed on Sunday, oral argument on Monday, decisions on
    Tuesday. If we had time, the four of us would have gotten together,
    and there might have been one dissent instead of filling far too
    many pages in the U.S. Reports6
    <http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119578/ruth-bader-ginsburg-interview-retirement-feminists-jazzercise#footnote-6> with
    our separate dissents.

    JR: Generally, you've been more reluctant to compromise than some of
    your colleagues. Is that a conscious decision?

    RBG: That was so in /Bush/ v. /Gore/. It was also true more recently
    in the/Hobby Lobby/ case, where Justices Breyer and Kagan said we'd
    rather not take a position on a for-profit corporation's
    free-exercise rights.

    ...

    JR: What's the worst ruling the current Court has produced?

    RBG: If there was one decision I would overrule, it would be
    /Citizens United/. I think the notion that we have all the
    democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy
    is supposed to be. So that's number one on my list. Number two would
    be the part of the health care decision that concerns the commerce
    clause. Since 1937, the Court has allowed Congress a very free hand
    in enacting social and economic legislation.8
    <http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119578/ruth-bader-ginsburg-interview-retirement-feminists-jazzercise#footnote-8> I
    thought that the attempt of the Court to intrude on
    Congress's domain in that area had stopped by the end of the 1930s.
    Of course health care involves commerce. Perhaps number three would
    be /Shelby County/, involving essentially the destruction of the
    Voting Rights Act. That act had a voluminous legislative history.
    The bill extending the Voting Rights Act was passed overwhelmingly
    by both houses, Republicans and Democrats, everyone was on
    board. The Court's interference with that decision of the political
    branches seemed to me out of order. The Court should have respected
    the legislative judgment. Legislators know much more about
    elections than the Court does. And the same was true of /Citizens
    United/. I think members of the legislature, people who have to run
    for office, know the connection between money and influence on what
    laws get passed.

    "U.S. Supreme Court justice could get advice from OSU experts on
    early voting dispute" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65991>

Columbus Dispatch: 
<http://www.dispatch.com/content/blogs/the-daily-briefing/2014/09/28092014---moritz-profs-analyze-election-rulings.html>

    If Justice Elena Kagan wants help in figuring out whether the U.S.
    Supreme Court should uphold lower court rulings that allows Ohioans
    to begin early voting on Tuesday, she can take advice from a pair of
    elections experts from Ohio State University's law school who have
    blogged on the dispute.

    Unfortunately, they come to pretty much opposite conclusions in the
    controversy over whether the state legislature, under a bill signed
    by Gov. John Kasich, and a directive from Secretary of State Jon
    Husted violated the constitutional rights of minority and poor
    voters by reducing early voting periods those groups prefer.

Important Ned Foley analysis. 
<http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/election-law/article/?article=12927> Two snippets:

    Plaintiffs complain that only one Sunday of early voting is
    available, and that the only evening hours available are on Election
    Day itself. As a matter of policy, I concur with their complaint. If
    it were up to me, I'd provide two weeks of early voting, including
    two Sundays (as well as two Saturdays) and ample evening hours
    throughout the fortnight. But I'm not Election Czar of Ohio, or
    anywhere else, and can I really say that the amount of early voting
    that Ohio provides is constitutionally inadequate to redress the
    disenfranchising effect of overcrowding at the polls on Election
    Day, as occurred in 2004? I think not. As it stands, all Ohio voters
    have the option of voting on a Sunday, or voting in the evening on
    Election Day, or voting on either of two Saturdays, or voting on a
    weekday during regular business hours throughout the four weeks of
    early voting, or voting by mail during that same four-week period.  
    It's not the optimal schedule in my view, but it's hard to see how
    any Ohio voter is disenfranchised by this particular menu of voting
    options.

AND

    My colleague Dan Tokaji sees
    <http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/election-law/article/?article=12915>Ohio's
    current early voting schedule as not a product of bipartisanship,
    but instead one party's imposition of its own preferences through
    its control of the state's legislature (and secretary of state's
    office).   But I think that analysis gives insufficient attention
    that the role that the bipartisan Ohio Association of Election
    Officials (OAEO) played in the development of Ohio's current early
    voting schedule. Like Dan, I deplore manipulation of voting rules by
    a political party in power in an effort to perpetuate that power
    against the wishes of the electorate. But unless and until we adopt
    institutional reforms that remove the power to adopt voting rules
    from partisan legislatures and administrators and instead place that
    power in nonpartisan bodies (as I've discussed elsewhere
    <http://scholarship.law.umt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1006&context=mlr&sei-redir=1&referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dfoley%2520separation%2520of%2520electoral%2520powers%26FORM%3DDLCBLB%26PC%3DMDDC%26QS%3Dn#search=%22foley%20separation%20electoral%20powers%22>),
    then federal constitutional law will need to be sensitive about when
    conventional partisan legislatures and administrators have crossed
    the line into excessive partisan manipulation of voting rules. Over
    the last decade, Ohio's legislature and secretary of state
    undoubtedly have crossed that line on other occasions. But given
    OAEO's role in the development of Ohio's current early voting
    schedule, I have a hard time seeing that Ohio crossed that line of
    excessive partisanship in this particular context.
