[EL] Shameless plug on my new book/Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter

[Schultz, David A.]

Hi all:

I am happy to announce the publication of my new book *Presidential Swing
States:  Why Only Ten Matter. *  While the book is not on election law many
of you might find it interesting nonetheless  because of how the Electoral
College and state assignment of electoral votes really means there are only
ten contested states in recent and in the 2016 presidential election.

http://www.amazon.com/Presidential-Swing-States-Only-Matter/dp/0739195247/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1441741962&sr=1-1&keywords=presidential+swing+states

*From the Publisher: *The 2016 presidential race is arguably already over
in 40 states and the District of Columbia. If recent presidential election
trends are any indication of what will happen in 2016, Democrats in Texas
and Republicans in New York might as well stay home on election day because
their votes will matter little in the presidential race. The same might be
said for the voters in 38 other states too. Conversely, for those in Ohio,
Florida, Colorado, Iowa, and a handful of other states, their votes matter.
These states will be battered with a barrage of presidential candidate
visits, commercials, political spending, and countless stories about them
by the media. Understanding why the presidential race has been effectively
reduced to only ten states is the subject of Presidential Swing States: Why
Only Ten Matter. Stacey Hunter Hecht and David Schultz offer a first of its
kind examination of why some states are swingers in presidential elections,
capable of being won by either of the major candidates.
