    “Why Isn’t Congress More Corrupt? A Preliminary Inquiry”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=71297>

Posted onMarch 25, 2015 4:44 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=71297>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

I have writtenthis symposium draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2585260>(forthcoming/Fordham 
Law Review/) and posted it on SSRN.  Here is the abstract:

    In the aftermath of the indictment of New York state assembly
    speaker Sheldon Silver on corruption charges, law professor (and
    recent reformist gubernatorial candidate) Zephyr Teachout published
    an op-ed in the New York Times entitled “Legalized Bribery.” In it,
    she argued that campaign contributions are a “gateway drug” to
    bribes and that politicians are “pre-corrupted” by taking campaign
    contributions and doing favors for contributors. She wants campaign
    finance limits, public financing, and limits on outside income for
    legislators. Although Teachout used powerful rhetoric, and suggested
    worthy reforms, I see her as offering an empirical hypothesis about
    the relationship between campaign contributions and bribery: the
    easier it is to take campaign contributions, and the higher the
    contribution limits, the more politicians are primed to be bribed
    and therefore the more public corruption cases will emerge.

    But if campaign contributions lead to corruption, why do we not see
    more corruption in Congress? After all, members of Congress may take
    up to $5,400 each election; they also may set up leadership PACs to
    take more money often used to benefit themselves, and now they can
    help Super PACs raise money. Further, prosecutors and the media have
    great incentives to uncover public corruption of our national
    legislature. Yet we see much more public corruption prosecuted on
    the state and local level than in Congress. New York legislators,
    for example, are 7 times more likely to be convicted of
    corruption-related offenses than members of Congress. Further,
    public corruption prosecution rates vary significantly from state to
    state, in ways which seems uncorrelated with campaign finance laws.
    The preliminary evidence does not support the Teachout hypothesis.

    In this short Essay written for a symposium in the Fordham Law
    Review, I explore three possible explanations for relatively low
    rates of bribery and corruption in Congress compared to many states.
    I then make suggestions for reform based upon these explanations.
    First, the presence of muckracking media, widely consumed by the
    relevant public, deters corruption. Second, thanks to gridlock,
    complex rules, and committee structures, members of Congress may
    have less influence to sell than state and local officials, and
    therefore there is less demand by corrupt persons and entities to
    bribe them. Finally, part time legislators may have greater
    incentive to act corruptly than full time legislators because of a
    need for additional money to supplement their incomes.

    In the end, the preliminary evidence supports only the first
    argument, that media attention is the best deterrent to corruption
    and explains both the relative lack of corruption in Congress and
    variation among the states. Based upon my preliminary analysis, I
    suggest we deal with public corruption primarily through subsidies
    of investigative journalism on the state level (the “ProPublica”
    model) and through appropriate law enforcement. The campaign finance
    problem is separate, and requires its own solutions.

This is still very early.  Comments welcome!

    “Remedial Equilibration and the Right to Vote Under Section 2 of the
    Fourteenth Amendment” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=71289>

Posted onMarch 25, 2015 2:53 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=71289>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Michael Morley has postedthis 
draft<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2585238>on SSRN 
(forthcoming, /University of Chicago Legal Forum/).  Here is the abstract:

    The modern “voting wars” involve repeated legal challenges alleging
    that proof-of-citizenship requirements for registration, voter
    identification laws, and other procedures aimed at protecting the
    electoral process violate the constitutional “right to vote.” In
    adjudicating such cases, courts make effectively subjective
    judgments about whether the challenged statutes or regulations make
    voting “too” burdensome.

    Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment offers critical—and previously
    overlooked—insight into the scope of the right to vote. It imposes a
    uniquely severe penalty—reduction in representation in the House of
    Representatives and Electoral College—when that right is violated.
    The theory of “remedial deterrence,” a type of “remedial
    equilibration,” teaches that courts take into account the severity
    of the remedy for a violation of a legal provision when determining
    that provision’s scope. Stripping a state of its seats in Congress
    and votes in the Electoral College is a uniquely severe penalty,
    effectively nullifying the results of one or more elections,
    disenfranchising the people who voted for the ejected
    representatives, diluting the vote of each member of the state’s
    electorate, and potentially even changing control of Congress or the
    outcome of a presidential election.

    For such a dramatic penalty to be appropriate, a State’s actions
    would have to be especially egregious—a direct disenfranchisement of
    certain disfavored groups of people. Facially neutral registration
    or voting procedures with which a person must comply in order to
    vote, in contrast, are insufficient to meet this highly demanding
    standard. This remedial deterrence interpretation of § 2 is
    consistent with both the Fourteenth Amendment’s legislative history
    and Congress’ contemporaneous interpretation of that provision
    during its immediate attempt to enforce it. All of the state laws
    and constitutional provisions that Congress concluded violated § 2
    imposed additional qualifications for voting by disenfranchising
    entire groups of people, such as the poor, the illiterate, or racial
    minorities, due to their purportedly undesirable traits. The text
    and structure of § 2, the debates leading to its enactment,
    contemporaneous interpretation and application of that provision,
    and the persuasive considerations underlying remedial deterrence
    itself all counsel in favor of construing the Fourteenth Amendment
    right to vote as prohibiting the actual, direct disenfranchisement
    of disfavored groups of people, and not administrative procedures
    for registration or voting.

Tim Kuhner has postedthis 
draft<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2581556>on SSRN 
(forthcoming, /Kings Law Journal/).  Here is the abstract:

    This essay explores the linkages between economic inequality,
    political inequality, and money in politics. Said another way, it
    explores the linkages between Thomas Piketty, Gilens & Page, and
    campaign finance law. It argues that the U.S. Supreme Court has
    constructed and justified a new form of government called
    plutocracy. Campaign finance cases from Buckley (1976) to McCutcheon
    (2014) contain a series of constitutional principles that serve to
    increase political inequality and economic inequality. Those
    constitutional principles also serve as the “apparatus of
    justification” sought by Piketty, the justifications for inequality
    that might allow today’s state of affairs to endure. This essay
    exposes those constitutional principles and their relationship to
    works by Piketty, Gilens, and Page. It also contains a summary of
    some key points from my book, Capitalism v. Democracy (Stanford
    University Press 2014).

I heard Tim present this at King’s and look forward to reading this.

Rebecca Brown and Andrew Martin have postedthis draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2584069>on SSRN 
(forthcoming, /NYU Law Review/).  Here is the abstract:

    This is an empirical piece prepared for a conference entitled
    Testing the Constitution, held at the University of Chicago Law
    School. Brown and Martin collaborated to design a survey experiment
    aimed at testing some of the factual claims made by the Supreme
    Court in Citizens United v. FEC. The paper shows that there is a
    demonstrable harm to the electorate’s faith in democracy, and argues
    that these findings supply a government interest, separate from
    prevention of corruption, in regulating campaign spending.
