[EL] question about angling to get before 3-judge-courts in election cases

[Rick Hasen]

I'm looking for statements made by litigators or people behind 
litigation who have angled to get their issues before the Supreme Court 
by trying to get a three-judge court.  David Gans claims, and I think 
he's right, that conservatives in recent years have tried to get their 
cases heard by a three judge court because it increases the chances the 
Court will take the case.  Here's David's post:

I'd appreciate any leads for a paper I'll soon post online.

Thanks.

Rick
