    “Ohio BCI is investigating what appears to be 25 to 30 fraudulent

    A state criminal agency is investigating what appears to be 25 to 30
    fraudulent voter-registration applications, including from five dead
    people, filed with the Columbiana County Board of Elections by the
    Ohio Organizing Collaborative….

    It was clearly fraudulent and forged when you have five people who
    died 10 years ago,” Booth said. “The forms were riddled with errors
    and all tied to this group. You can tell the same person filled out
    some of the same forms and forged signatures. There are wrong dates
    of births and wrong addresses on others. It became a pattern.”

    There also were two registration forms from the same person, but the
    signatures were completely different, he said….

    In a prepared statement, Laurie Couch, spokeswoman for the
    Youngstown-based OOC, wrote: “Unfortunately, it has come to our
    attention that a number of voter registration cards filed in
    Columbiana County appear to have been fabricated. The individuals
    responsible are no longer employed by the OOC and their supervisor
    has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. We
    are conducting a thorough internal investigation into the incident
    and working closely with the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office and
    the board of elections to fully support their investigation. In
    fewer than 24 hours, we have provided every piece of documentation
    requested by the sheriff’s office.”

    “Encouraging Local Compliance with Federal Civil Rights Laws: Field
    Experiments with the National Voter Registration Act”

Doug Hess, Michael Hanmer, and David Nickerson have writtenthis article 
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/puar.12473/abstract>for/Public 
Administration Review/. Here is the abstract:

    C/an state officials increase local officials’ compliance with an
    important federal civil rights law with subtle interventions? The
    National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) requires voter
    registration services at certain government agencies, but many
    counties fail to comply with the act. Working with officials in two
    states, the authors conducted field experiments to determine whether
    two methods commonly used by state officials increase compliance
    with the NVRA. Findings show that although the effects of the
    methods on output were sizable relative to recent performance,
    agency performance remained poor overall, with many offices
    continuing their history of registering no voters. The authors also
    discovered that gains in performance were largest for the offices
    that had performed best in the past. These findings suggest that
    while subtle interventions by state officials can produce increased
    compliance, stronger tactics may be needed to secure implementation
    of this federal law by local government agents/.

    “Outside Spending by Special Interests Floods Judicial Elections at
    Record Percentage, Report Finds” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=77145>

Release 
<https://www.brennancenter.org/press-release/outside-spending-special-interests-floods-judicial-elections-record-percentage-report>:

    Special-interest groups accounted for a record-high 29 percent of
    total spending in state judicial races in the 2013-14 election
    cycle, according to a new report by the Brennan Center for Justice
    at NYU School of Law, Justice at Stake, and the National Institute
    on Money in State Politics.

    Offering a detailed analysis of the latest state Supreme Court
    campaign trends, /Bankrolling the Bench: The New Politics of
    Judicial Elections 2013-14/
    <http://www.newpoliticsreport.org/> shows how special-interest
    spending has impacted the composition of state courts nationwide —
    and calls into question how campaign spending may affect courts’
    decisions. The study finds that multi-million dollar judicial races,
    once unheard of, are now common across the country. Social welfare
    organizations and other outside groups are also increasingly
    spending on court races, the report notes, spurred in part by the
    U.S. Supreme Court’s /Citizens United/ ruling in 2010. The cycle
    also saw a notable development in a highly public initiative by a
    national group, the Republican State Leadership Committee, which
    spent nearly $3.4 million across judicial races in five states.

    “Groups Want Federal Health Exchange to Register Voters, Too”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=77141>

Posted onOctober 29, 2015 6:10 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=77141>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Abby Goodnough for the NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/us/groups-want-federal-health-exchange-to-register-voters-too.html>:

    When theAffordable Care Act
    <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/25/health/policy/25health.html>’s
    new enrollment season begins next month, people seeking health
    insurance through the online federal exchange will also be offered
    something they may not expect: a chance to register to vote.

    ut voting rights groups say the offer — a link to a voter
    registration form that they can print and mail, deep inside the
    application for health coverage — does not go far enough. This week,
    the groups accused the Obama administration of violating federal law
    by not doing more to ensure opportunities for voter registration
    through the exchange, HealthCare.gov, which serves 38 states.

    In a letter to President Obama, the groups said that in contrast,
    most of the 13 state-based insurance exchanges have worked to comply
    with the National Voter Registration Act. The act, also known as the
    “motor voter” law, requires states to offer voter registration to
    people applying for a driver’s license or public assistance.

    “This is an important voting rights issue that can no longer be
    ignored,” wrote the groups, which include the League of Women
    Voters, Project Vote and Demos, a liberal think tank.

    Some voting rights experts are not certain their claim would hold up
    in court. At issue is whether the federal exchange is subject to the
    voter registration law because it is providing a service on behalf
    of the states it operates in.

    “It’s an interesting, creative argument,” said Richard L. Hasen, a
    law professor at the University of California, Irvine. “I just don’t
    know if the courts will buy it or not.”…

    Mr. Hasen said that given the many battles the Obama administration
    has fought with Republicans over the Affordable Care Act, it might
    prefer letting a court decide whether the federal exchange has to
    comply with the voter registration law.

    “The federal exchange tends to serve more Republican states,” he
    said. “This would be a way of potentially registering more
    Democratic voters there. So it’s politically easier for an
    administration that’s always accused of trying to expand federal
    power to have a court make this decision.”

Update:Nicholas 
Bagley<http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/registering-voters-through-healthcare-gov/>is 
more skeptical.

    “F.E.C. Panel Delays a Decision on Spending in ’16 Races”

NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/us/politics/fec-panel-delays-a-decision-on-spending-in-16-races.html?ref=politics>:

    TheFederal Election Commission
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal_election_commission/index.html?inline=nyt-org>put
    off a decision Thursday on just how far so-calledsuper PACs
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/c/campaign_finance/index.html>—
    a dominant force so far in the 2016 campaign — can go in raising
    millions of dollars for politicians.

    The inaction was not surprising for a commission often gridlocked by
    partisan divisions. Still, it frustrated Democratic lawyers, who had
    asked the commission last monthfor an “emergency” ruling
    <http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/us/politics/democrats-seek-to-expand-use-of-super-pacs.html>on
    whether a dozen fund-raising tactics used bysuper PACs

    politicians should be considered legal.

    “The Price of Union; The Undefeatable South”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=77137>

Posted onOctober 29, 2015 5:06 pm

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

Nicholas Lemann writes 
<http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/02/the-price-of-union>for the 
/New Yorker./

    The civil-rights revolution, too, can be thought of as a bargain,
    not simply a victory: the nation has become Southernized just as
    much as the South has become nationalized. Political conservatism,
    the traditional creed of the white South, went from being presumed
    dead in 1964 to being a powerful force in national politics. During
    the past half century, the country has had more Presidents from the
    former Confederacy than from the former Union. Racial prejudice and
    conflict have been understood as American, not Southern, problems….

    Ari Berman’s “Give Us the Ballot” (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), a
    history of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, makes for an excellent
    extended example of the mechanisms by which race in the South
    becomes race in the nation. The Voting Rights Act followed the
    better-known Civil Rights Act by a year. It is properly understood
    as part of a wave of legislation that represents the political
    triumph of the civil-rights movement, but Berman, like most people,
    finds a precipitating event in the murder, in June, 1964, in Neshoba
    County, Mississippi, of three young civil-rights workers, James
    Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner.

    Justice Kennedy Defends Citizens United

Justice Kennedy’s appearance at Harvard:

    Kennedy, also in response to a student’s question, said he stands by
    his 2010 decision in the still controversial/Citizens
    United/_*campaign finance case
    <http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-205.pdf>*_.

    “In my own view, what happens with money in politics is not good,”
    he said. “Remember: the government of the United States stood in
    front our court and said it was lawful and necessary under the
    [McCain-Feingold] Act to ban a book written about Hillary Clinton in
    the prohibited period of six, three months before the election. That
    can’t be right.

    “I wasn’t surprised The New York Times was incensed their little
    monopoly to affect our thinking was taken away. I was surprised how
    virulent their attitude was. Last time I looked, The New York Times
    was a corporation. This meant the Sierra Club, the chamber of
    commerce in a small town couldn’t take out an ad.”

    Disclosure of who is financing elections is an answer, he said. “You
    live in this cyber age. A report can be done in 24 hours,” he said.
    But, he added, “that’s not working the way it should.”

Two things of note:

First, Justice Kennedy is among the Justices to rarely give these kind 
of public interviews, according to myCelebrity Justice study 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2611729>.  Maybe 
that is now changing.

Second, Regarding Justice Kennedy’s point about the New York Times as a 
(press) corporation): I deal with this question in great detail in my 
upcomingPlutocrats United 
<http://www.amazon.com/Plutocrats-United-Campaign-Distortion-Elections/dp/0300212453/>book. 
It is a serious objection to campaign finance limits that needs a 
serious answer.

    Bush vs. Gore, the ruling that decided the 2000 presidential

    Republican election officials was invalid.

    Undecided Senate Republicans are grappling with pressure from groups
    on opposing sides of bills to replace the state’s Government
    Accountability Board and rewrite state campaign finance law.

    The GOP-controlled Assembly voted largely on party lines to pass the

    last week, less than two weeks after they were introduced.

    But the Senate, also under Republican control, isn’t rushing to get
    the bills to the desk of Gov. Scott Walker.

    “I don’t think there’s any sense of urgency, at least on my part,”
    Sen. Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, said Tuesday. “I’m still
    studying the options.”

USA Today 
<http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2015/10/28/former-lawmakers-join-campaign-finance-fight/>:

    A bipartisan group of former members of Congress and ex-governors is
    banding together to put a new spin on a long-standing cause:
    reducing the influence of big money in American elections.

    The ReFormers Caucus <https://www.issueone.org/reformers-caucus/>,
    as the group of more than 100 former officeholders is known, plans
    to kick off its effort Nov. 5 with an event on Capitol Hill. It’s
    all part of a push by a group called Issue One to put the spotlight
    on overhauling the system.

    Goals include boosting small donations to campaigns, finding ways to
    restrict political contributions from lobbyists and unmasking secret
    contributions made to tax-exempt groups that are active in politics.

    The boldfaced political names in the group range from former Senate
    Majority Leader Tom Daschle and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman to
    Leon Panetta, a former California congressman who also ran the CIA
    and the Defense Department. Some, such as Daschle, have ties to the
    lobbying business themselves.
