    “Campaign Finance and Political Polarization: When Purists Prevail”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76751>

Ray La Raja and Brian Schaffner have just writtenthis book 
<http://www.press.umich.edu/4882255/campaign_finance_and_political_polarization>, 
which I am very much looking forward to reading:

    Efforts to reform the U.S. campaign finance system typically focus
    on the corrupting influence of large contributions. Yet, as Raymond
    J. La Raja and Brian F. Schaffner argue, reforms aimed at cutting
    the flow of money into politics have unintentionally favored
    candidates with extreme ideological agendas and, consequently,
    fostered political polarization.
    Drawing on data from 50 states and the U.S. Congress over 20 years,
    La Raja and Schaffner reveal that current rules allow wealthy
    ideological groups and donors to dominate the financing of political
    campaigns. In order to attract funding, candidates take
    uncompromising positions on key issues and, if elected, take their
    partisan views into the legislature. As a remedy, the authors
    propose that additional campaign money be channeled through party
    organizations—rather than directly to candidates—because these
    organizations tend to be less ideological than the activists who now
    provide the lion’s share of money to political candidates. Shifting
    campaign finance to parties would ease polarization by reducing the
    influence of “purist” donors with their rigid policy stances.
    La Raja and Schaffner conclude the book with policy recommendations
    for campaign finance in the United States. They are among the few
    non-libertarians who argue that less regulation, particularly for
    political parties, may in fact improve the democratic process.

    “Small-dollar donors power insurgent candidates from both parties”

CPI: 
<http://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/10/16/18636/small-dollar-donors-power-insurgent-candidates-both-parties>

    Grassroots givers are playing a pivotal role in shaping the 2016
    presidential race, boosting insurgent candidates in both the
    Democratic and Republican primary contests as they challenge
    establishment favorites in the polls and the race for campaign cash.

    Small-dollar donors who gave $200 or less accounted for about 40
    percent of the approximately $144 million raised between July and
    September by thetwo dozen Republicans and Democrats
    <http://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/10/15/18631/2016-presidential-money-race>running
    for president, according to aCenter for Public Integrity
    <http://www.publicintegrity.org/>review of campaign finance
    documents filed Thursday.

    So who are the candidates raising the largest portion of their
    campaign funds from these people-powered fundraising machines? Those
    bucking their parties’ establishments and touting their desires to
    challenge the status quo in Washington.

    “Lessons from the Turn of the Twentieth Century for First-Year
    Courses on Legislation and Regulation”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76743>

Posted onOctober 16, 2015 7:12 am

<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Kevin Stack has postedthis 
draft<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2670204>on SSRN 
(/Journal of Legal Education/).  Here is the abstract:

    This essay — part of a special journal issue on Legislation and
    Regulation and Regulatory State courses as core elements of the law
    school curriculum — approaches the debate over adopting these
    courses by looking back to the controversy stirred by teaching
    administrative law in law schools at the beginning of the twentieth
    century. This essay argues that sources of resistance to
    administrative law at that time not only help to explain the slow
    pace of adoption of “Leg-Reg” and “Reg-State” courses today, but
    also inform what material these new courses should cover. At the
    turn of the century, both commitment to the case method as the
    exclusive pedagogy for law teaching and jurisprudential principles
    that understood courts to be the privileged sources of law resulted
    in early administrative law courses being normalized within the case
    method, excluding the internal law and decisionmaking of
    administrative agencies from their coverage. Based on the premise
    that law students should confront the primary sources of law in our
    current regulatory legal system, first-year Leg-Reg and Reg-State
    courses should not replicate the traditional, exclusive focus on
    judicial decisions. Rather, these new courses are the right occasion
    to introduce regulatory and congressional materials as primary
    sources. That coverage choice, moreover, provides preparation for an
    upper-level administrative law course focused on how courts review
    agency action, while minimizing duplication in coverage. Even more
    importantly, treatment of nonjudicial primary sources in these new
    courses helps to bring the image of law conveyed to first year
    students closer to the true dimensions of our legal order.

<http://www.prisonersofthecensus.org/news/2015/10/15/evenwel-nyt/>responds 
toAdam Liptak 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/13/us/politics/aclus-own-arguments-may-work-against-it-in-voting-rights-case.html>:

    The/Evenwel/plaintiffs seek to entirely exclude all non-citizens
    from redistricting counts, regardless of their residence in, and
    strong ties to, the community in which they are counted. By
    contrast, the plaintiffs in the Cranston case have made a careful,
    fact-based determination of where people incarcerated at the
    facility actually reside, be it in Ward 6, elsewhere in Cranston or
    outside of the city and want the city’s districts to treat those
    groups separately.

    Simply put, Cranston does not have the authority to fix prison
    gerrymandering problems outside its jurisdictional boundaries, and
    so plaintiffs have not sought to force them to do so.

    “California Adopts Tough Rules for Super PACs”

<http://news.bna.com/mpdm/MPDMWB/split_display.adp?fedfid=77693079&vname=mpebulallissues&jd=a0h4h5d6r9&split=0>:

    “Sweeping reforms” in California campaign finance rules governing
    spending by super political action committees and other groups not
    formally linked to a candidate have been approved by California’s
    Fair Political Practices Commission, according to a statement from
    the FPPC.
    The FPPC said the new staterules
    <http://www.fppc.ca.gov/agendas/2015/10-15/18225.7%20%2810-14-15%20Updated%20Version%29.pdf>aim
    to counter a nationwide trend toward increased coordination between
    candidates and outside spending groups. The state agency said the
    rules specify situations in which a presumption of illegal
    coordination exists between a state candidate and an outside spender
    expressly advocating on the candidate’s behalf.
    Under the new rules, for example, such a presumption would exist in
    cases in which a candidate helps to raise money for a super PAC or
    other outside group primarily formed to support the candidate or
    oppose the candidate’s opponent. A presumption of coordination also
    would exist in other situations involving an outside group’s
    reliance on a candidate’s former staffers or family members or use
    of consultants shared by the candidate.
    The new rules also presume coordination in situations in which a
    group’s campaign spending is based on information about a
    candidate’s needs or plans provided “directly or indirectly” by
    candidate regarding campaign messaging, planned expenditures or
    polling data.

    Although super-PACs operate with more freedom than traditional
    campaigns, able to accept contributions of unlimited size, they can
    take money only from people who are U.S. citizens or green card holders.

    “We don’t comment on specific donors, but we do have systems in
    place to ensure compliance with all FEC rules,” the super-PAC, Right
    to Rise USA, said in an e-mailed statement, referring to the Federal
    Election Commission. A person close to Right to Rise said the group
    confirmed Chen had a green card before accepting the donation. A
    spokesman for Bush’s campaign declined to comment.

    “Bush comes out against dark money amid fundraising fight with

<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Benjy 
Sarlin<http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/bush-comes-out-against-dark-money-amid-fundraising-fight-rubio>for 
MSNBC:

    While both Bush and Rubio have said they favor more transparency in
    campaign finance (Bush has floatedallowing unlimited campaign
    donations
    <http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/influence-wealthy-donors-becoming-issue-gop-primaries>,
    but disclosing them within 48 hours online), neither has publicly
    called on groups supporting them to disclose their backers or
    explicitly called for a law that would compel them to do so.

    Until now, at least: Asked in an e-mail by msnbc whether Bush’s
    proposed solution would include legislation to “bar outside groups
    supportive of a candidate from raising money anonymously” Miller
    answered in the affirmative.

    “Ya he would support a law that would increase transparency and
    disclosure,” Miller said.

    A spokesman for Every Voice, an advocacy group that favors further
    transparency in campaign finance, hailed the news while calling on
    Bush to provide further details.

    “If this is what the Bush campaign means by ‘commitment to
    transparency,’ we’re happy to see it,” Adam Smith, communications
    director at Every Voice, told msnbc. “There are plenty of things
    that can be done, both through legislation and the regulatory
    process, to increase transparency in political spending and I’d love
    to see what he’d support if elected.”

    replacing aging voting equipment. That’s what Christy McCormick,
    chairwoman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), says
    her agency is telling state and local election officials, even
    though a bipartisan presidential commissionwarned last year
    <http://www.supportthevoter.gov/>of an “impending crisis.”

    “We’re telling [election officials] that, from what we understand,
    there won’t be any more federal funding coming to help them,” said
    Christy McCormick.

    “We’re telling them that, from what we understand, there won’t be
    any more federal funding coming to help them,” McCormick said in an
    interview with NPR.

    And that’s a problem because election officials around the country
    are worried about breakdowns as voting machines purchased after the
    2000 presidential elections near the end of their useful lives. Much
    of the equipment is already outdated. Some officials have even had
    toresort to sites such as eBay
    <http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/09/15/440255752/report-americas-aging-voting-machines-could-present-election-problems>to
    find spare parts.

    The Brennan Center for Justiceestimates
    <https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/publications/Americas_Voting_Machines_At_Risk.pdf>that
    it will cost about $1 billion to buy replacement machines. But state
    and local budgets are tight. And Congress has shown no sign that
    it’s willing to foot the bill as it did more than a decade ago, when
    punch-card voting equipment was replaced nationwide.

    McCormick says for now, the EAC is offering election officials tips
    on how to maintain the equipment they do have, at least to get them
    through the 2016 presidential election — a little like keeping an
    old car running until you can afford a new one.
