[EL] Articles or commentary on Shelby County

[Scarberry, Mark]

Sorry. I hit the send button prematurely. Dr. Kousser’s article (“Do the Facts of Voting Rights Support Chief Justice Roberts's Opinion in Shelby County?”) can be found at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2592829. I gather he may still be putting the finishing touches on it prior to publication.

With regard to whether federal election laws have differentiated among the states, Morgan Kousser tells me:


“The First and Second Military Reconstruction Acts enfranchised blacks in the 10 states that were reconstructed and no others.  That's the strongest differential treatment of states in any voting rights law in U.S. history.”

Let me also recommend his article, which can be found at
