Public Citizen roundlycondemns the latest sneak attack (PDF)
<http://www.citizen.org/documents/Oppose_HR_412_and_HR_195.pdf>by
U.S. House GOP leaders to terminate the presidential public
financing program and give corporations and the wealthy still more
influence over American elections.
On the heels of the fifth anniversary of the U.S Supreme Court’s
infamous/Citizens United/decision – which said that corporations may
spend unlimited amounts to influence national, state, local and
judicial elections – House Republicans have introduced H.R. 412, a
bill to end public financing of presidential elections. The
legislative proposal, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), is
being whisked through a House Administration Committee hearing as
early as today.

“Audio Links: Alabama Law Review Symposium on the Voting Rights Act”

<http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com/prawfsblawg/2015/03/podcasts-alabama-law-review-symposium-on-the-voting-rights-act.html>:
This past Friday, the Alabama Law Review held its annual symposium.
This year, the symposium marked the fiftieth anniversary of the
signing of the Voting Rights Act. The speakers discussed its past,
especially the civil rights activism–not least the famous
Selma-to-Montgomery march, which will be commemorated this weekend
across the country and in Selma itself–that helped bring about
its passage; the current state of voting rights law,
with panelists discussing, among other things, both the Shelby
County decision and the pending Alabama Legislative Black Caucus
case; and the uncertain future of voting rights. It was an
extraordinary day. The topic itself was suggested by the students
themselves, not the dean or faculty; that itself was important,
showing both the students’ willingness to acknowledge and confront
our state’s troubled (and, with respect to the marchers themselves,
heroic) history and their commitment to voting rights now and in the
future.
The speakers, including many of the nation’s foremost experts on the
subject, were terrific. Audio recordings of almost all of the talks
are available on theLaw School web site
<http://www.law.ua.edu/programs/symposiums/50th-anniversary-of-the-voting-rights-act/>.
I regret that the keynote address, by Judge Myron Thompson of the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, is
not available. Judge Thompson’s talk was one of the most moving and
eloquent addresses I have ever had the privilege of witnessing, and
the rest of the audience clearly felt the same. I will not be
surprised if it ends up altering the career choices of a number of
the law students who heard it. I’m grateful to the Law Review and
its editors, as well as the Law School’s staff, for organizing
the event, and to the wonderful panelists. Here’s a rundown, with links:

News<http://www.hockessincommunitynews.com/article/20150302/NEWS/150309958>from
Delaware:
A Delaware senator has asked the state attorney general’s office to
investigate alleged voter fraud in last week’s Red Clay Consolidated
School District’s referendum.
Sen. Karen Peterson, D-Stanton, made the request of AG Matt Denn
following a report that a group of parents who had just finished
voting at one location said that they were proceeding to another
polling place to vote again.

“Eric Garcetti’s Mayor’s Fund lets companies give big”
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=70716>
Posted onMarch 4, 2015 6:57 am
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=70716>byRick Hasen
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
LAT
<http://www.latimes.com/local/cityhall/la-me-0303-garcetti-fund-20150303-story.html#page=1>:
The contribution is one of dozens the Mayor’s Fund has received,
from companies with a stake in City Hall decisions and from
charitable foundations, according to records reviewed by The Times.
Modeled on similar nonprofits in New York and other cities, the fund
provides a financial boost for civic programs — as diverse as
environmental initiatives and summer jobs for thousands of
inner-city kids — that might otherwise fall victim to city
belt-tightening.
But the nonprofit, which took in about $5.2 million between its
formation in June and last month, can also offer a discreet
destination for special-interest money that is not subject to
campaign finance restrictions. City law caps contributions by
individuals or businesses at $1,300 per election for mayoral
candidates. By contrast, the average donation to the Mayor’s Fund
has been $111,000.
“To the extent that we’re worried about groups or individuals or
companies or unions being able to curry favor with elected
officials, it does raise concerns,” said Richard Hasen, a professor
at the UC Irvine School of Law who studies campaign finance regulation.

50 Years After Selma, Alabama Still Resists on Civil Rights (Same
Sex Marriage This Time) <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=70711>
Posted onMarch 3, 2015 5:07 pm
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=70711>byRick Hasen
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
In most states, once a federal court has declared laws against same-sex
marriage unconstitutional, state officials go along. This is true even
in Wisconsin, where governor ScottWalker acquiesced
<http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/noquarter/scott-walker-declines-to-say-where-he-stands-on-gay-marriage-today-b99290317z1-262952941.html>in a
federal court ruling. But in Alabama things are different. After a
federal district court ruling holding Alabama’s same sex marriage ban
unconstitutional, and the refusal of the 11th circuit to grant a stay,
some probate judges are still resisting giving same sex marriage
licenses. Some had been encouraged to resist by the state’s Supreme
Court Justice Ray Moore.
Well now comes a bigger gun. A 7 Justice 134 page majority opinion
<file:///Users/rhasen/Downloads/257588907-Alabama-Same-Sex-Marriage-Decision.pdf> holding
it illegal,at least temporarily,
<http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/alabama-supreme-court-orders-temporary-stop-to-new-same-sex#.cnnqbDQXB>for
probate judges to issue same-sex marriage licenses in the state, except
perhaps to the limited extent they are ordered to do so by federal
courts. Even then, it may take a direct order from the U.S. Supreme
Court to put an end to all of this.
We know how this ends—with same sex marriages in Alabama. But it will be
a struggle to the end.
It is kind of amazing this is coming almost 50 years to the day of the
Selma march. I was just in Alabama this past weekend for an incredible
conference on the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. I thought
it remarkable how far the state has come. But I now see there is much
further for the state to go when it comes to the question of civil rights.

Release <http://jointcenter.org/blog/50-years-voting-rights-act>:
Today the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies released
/50 Years of the Voting Rights Act: The State of Race in Politics
<http://jointcenter.org/sites/default/files/VRA%20report%2C%203.3.15%20%2811am%29_0.pdf>./
The report examines minority voter turnout, racially polarized
voting, policy outcomes by race, and the number of minority elected
officials from the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 until
today.
*Click here to read the report*
<http://jointcenter.org/sites/default/files/VRA%20report%2C%203.3.15%20%2811am%29_0.pdf>,
which is authored by Professors Khalilah Brown-Dean, Zoltan Hajnal,
Christina Rivers, and Ismail White.
Key findings:
* The black/white racial gap in voter turnout has decreased
dramatically in presidential elections since 1965.
* Local election turnout is generally less than half of
presidential general election turnout. As overall turnout
declines in local elections, the electorate may become less diverse.
* Turnout rates among both Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans
in presidential elections remain 15 to 20 points below white
Americans.
* Since 1960, the party identification and partisan voting
patterns of blacks and whites have become sharply divided.
* In urban local elections, race is a more decisive factor than
income, education, political ideology, religion, sexual
orientation, age, gender, and political ideology.
* Based on available data from 1972 to 2010, blacks were the least
advantaged group in America in terms of policy outcomes.
* Since 1965, the number of elected officials of color has grown
enormously, but people of color remain underrepresented in
elected office.

“Does Candidate Race Impact Who Turns Out to Vote?”

The forthcoming article “Candidates or Districts? Reevaluating the
Role of Race in Voter Turnout
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajps.12172/abstract>”
byBernard L. Fraga is summarized by the author here:
The recent film “Selma” highlighted the struggle by
African-Americans to win voting rights. Yet even as we mark the 50th
anniversary of these events, Black, Latino, and Asian American
turnout continues to lag non-Hispanic White turnout. The 2008 and
2012 elections appeared to be an exception, however: Black turnout
matched or exceeded White turnout nationally. Given Barack Obama’s
candidacy, media naturally asserted that his historic run encouraged
African-Americans to turn out when they otherwise would have stayed
home. The same sort of candidate race-turnout connection also forms
a tenet of modern political science understandings of race and
politics. But does candidate race impact who turns out to vote? If
so, do we see a similar pattern across racial/ethnic groups?
In “Candidates or Districts? Reevaluating the Role of Race in Voter
Turnout,” I examined and contrasted White, Black, Latino, and Asian
American turnout via detailed, individual-level voter registration
records. The focus of the study was on recent congressional primary
and general elections, where hundreds of candidates of various
racial/ethnic backgrounds seek office each election cycle.
Importantly, the analysis was conducted at the state or
congressional district level, thus allowing me to account for
demographic and partisan differences across jurisdictions using
Census data.
In line with past work, I find that when minority candidates are on
the ballot, minority turnout is often substantially higher. However,
the relationship between candidate race and turnout is overshadowed
of a more robust impact of “district” race and turnout: Black and
Latino citizens are more likely to turn out to vote in places where
they compose a large share of the population. Since Black and Latino
candidates tend to seek office in places where their ethnic group is
a substantial portion of the population, we see a spurious
relationship between candidate background and participation better
explained by the demographic (that is, racial/ethnic) makeup of the
districts themselves. After accounting for this factor, we see no
difference in rates of turnout attributable to the race/ethnicity of
congressional candidates. Asian Americans, America’s fastest-growing
minority group, also show no signs of increased turnout when
same-race candidates are on the ballot, nor do non-Hispanic White
citizens.
In short, I demonstrate that candidate race matters less than the
unique racial/ethnic makeup of the places these candidates usually
seek office. But what explains such a finding? One possibility is
that voters are more likely to turn out when their ethnic group
holds sway in election outcomes, or has done so historically.
Another is that savvy politicians (of any race) will mobilize groups
when they have to to win election; mobilization of a large, cohesive
bloc of minority voters may be an obvious strategy to politicians of
any background. More work needs to be done to understand which of
these processes is occurring, but from a practical standpoint these
findings clarify what matters and what does not when it comes to
race and voter turnout. As America becomes more diverse, minority
groups will play an even larger role in determining election
outcomes. Perhaps a long-elusive equality in rates of participation
will accompany such changes.
