    “Kris Kobach, his views spark intense reactions – from supporters,

Bryan Lowry 
<http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article36718005.html>for 
the Wichita Eagle:

    Kobach has had “a devastating impact on voting rights in the state
    of Kansas and, for that matter, across the country,” says Micah
    Kubic, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of
    Kansas.

    Kobach championed a proof-of-citizenship requirement to register to
    vote, a policy that has left thousands of prospective voters in
    suspended registration status since January 2013. Beginning this
    week, his office will remove any names that have been on the
    suspended list for more than 90 days.

    He says this will save local election offices money, but the ACLU
    says it is primarily meant to relieve Kobach of the political
    embarrassment of having nearly 37,000 prospective voters in
    suspended registration status. He calls that ridiculous.

    The Roberts Court at 10: Election Law
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76266>

With today’s 10 year anniversary of John Roberts’ joining the Supreme 
Court as Chief Justice of the United States. here’s another link to my 
paper in progress,Election Law’s Path in the Roberts Court’s First 
Decade: A Sharp Right Turn But with Speed Bumps and Surprising Twists 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2639902>.  Abstract:

    The first decade of election law cases at the Supreme Court under
    the leadership of Chief Justice Roberts brought election law down a
    strong conservative path. Citizens United v. Federal Election
    Commission freed corporate money in U.S. candidate elections and
    opened up a deregulatory era increasingly dominated by nominally
    independent “Super PACs.” Shelby County v. Holder eviscerated the
    congressional regime codified in Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act
    under which Congress required states and localities with a history
    of racial discrimination in voting to obtain federal permission
    before making a change in voting rules by proving that the change
    would not make minority voters worse off. In its wake,
    previously-covered jurisdictions have adopted a number of election
    changes which no doubt have made minority voters worse off. In
    Crawford v. Marion County Election Board the Court gave the green
    light for state voter identification laws, despite a lack of
    evidence that such laws are necessary to deter fraud or instill
    voter confidence. Republican states have increasingly tightened
    voting rules in Crawford’s wake. Finally, the Court will soon
    consider whether to place new restrictions on application of the one
    person, one vote rule which would hurt Latino representation and
    strengthen rural and Republican power. The Court took the case,
    Evenwel v. Abbott, despite having apparently resolved the legal
    question it presents in 1966.

    Nonetheless, the Roberts Court, while dominated by a majority of
    five conservative Justices, has not gone as far right as it could
    have or as some, including I, had predicted. In the campaign finance
    arena, the Court has thus far refused to take cases to strike down
    the ban on direct corporate contributions to candidates, or to
    reopen the ability of political parties to take large “soft money”
    contributions. It has not eliminated individual contribution limits,
    even as Super PACs and other campaign groups undermine them. In the
    voting rights arena, the Court so far has declined cases which would
    further limit the scope of, or find unconstitutional, Section 2 of
    the Voting Rights Act, a key remaining protection for minority
    voters, and it has revived the racial gerrymandering cause of action
    in a way which can help minority plaintiffs fight Republican
    gerrymanders. Most recently, the Court surprisingly rejected the
    opportunity to use the Elections Clause to kill independent
    commission-based congressional redistricting and other electoral
    reforms, and it upheld against First Amendment challenge a rule
    barring judicial candidates from personally soliciting campaign
    contributions.

    In this Essay I describe the path of election law jurisprudence in
    the Roberts Court and then consider two questions. First, what
    explains why the Court, while shifting in a strongly conservative
    direction, has not moved more extremely to the right? Second, what
    options has the Court left for election reformers who are unhappy
    with the strongly conservative, although not maximally conservative,
    status quo?

    On the first question, a combination of factors appears to explain
    the trajectory and speed of the Roberts Court’s election law
    decisions. The Roberts Court is fundamentally conservative, but for
    jurisprudential, temperamental, or strategic reasons Justices
    holding the balance of power appear to prefer incrementalism to
    radical change. Mandatory appellate jurisdiction appears the best
    way to force the Roberts’ Court’s hand, and it often but not always
    leads to a conservative result. Nearly half of the Roberts Court’s
    election cases came on mandatory jurisdiction. Progressives
    meanwhile have limited the number of cases they present for Court
    review to avoid adverse precedent. Finally, the five conservative
    Justices are not monolithic in their views and are capable of
    surprise, as evidenced by the recent Arizona redistricting decision,
    in which Justice Kennedy joined with the Court’s liberals, and the
    recent judicial elections case, in which Chief Justice Roberts
    joined with the Court’s liberals.

    On the second question, the Court has left very limited space for
    reform in certain areas, such as campaign finance. Where the Court
    has greatly constrained choice, only minor improvements are possible
    absent a change in the Supreme Court’s personnel. In these areas,
    the problem is not that reformers have a “romanticized” vision of
    democracy; it is that the structural impediments erected by the
    Court have hobbled meaningful reform efforts. In contrast, in areas
    in which the Court has mostly left room for decentralized election
    law approaches, such as in the arena election administration,
    election fights are becoming both legal and political. Polarization
    and decentralization have led to the emergence of “red state
    election law” and “blue state election law,” with voting
    restrictions increasingly enacted in many Republican-leaning states
    but not Democratic-leaning states or states with mixed control.

    Part I briefly describes the path of election law in the Roberts era
    across key election law areas including campaign finance, voting
    rights, and election administration. Part II explains why the
    Roberts Court is deeply conservative but not consistently
    maximalist. Part III considers the space for election reform in the
    Roberts Court era and beyond.

    “Doubts about new redistricting case”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76260>

Lyle 
Denniston<http://www.scotusblog.com/2015/09/doubts-about-new-redistricting-case/>for 
SCOTUSBlog:

    The Supreme Court on Monday afternoon told lawyers involved in a new
    case on the constitutionality of a congressional election district
    in Virginia to file new briefs on whether the case can go forward in
    the Court.  In aone-paragraph order
    <http://www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-1504-order-for-new-brief-9-28-15.docx>issued
    along with two other procedural orders after the first Conference in
    advance of the new Term, the Court questioned whether current and
    former members of the House had a legal right to pursue their
    appeal.  The Court has not yet agreed to hear the case, but it is in
    a form that would require the Court to act on it if it were properly
    filed…..

    When the voters who had filed the original lawsuit challenging
    District 3 answered the new appeal in the Supreme Court, they argued
    that the present and former lawmakers could not show that they had
    been injured by the new District 3 and therefore lacked “standing”
    to pursue their appeal under the Constitution’s Article III.

    The situation appears to parallel what the Supreme Court
    confronted two years ago in a California case involving the same-sex
    marriage issue. After a federal judge had struck down California’s
    “Proposition 8” ban on such marriages, and that ruling had been
    upheld by a federal appeals court, Proposition 8’s sponsors — who
    had intervened in the case — took it to the Supreme Court.  The
    state did not pursue an appeal on its own.  The Court in that
    case,/Hollingsworth v. Perry/, ruled that the sponsors of the ban
    did not have standing to appeal when state officials had failed to
    do so.

    “Remembering Bill Crawford” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76253>

Posted onSeptember 28, 2015 1:45 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76253>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Here is a guest post fromJosh Douglas: 
<http://law.uky.edu/directory/joshua-a-douglas>

    I was saddened to learn of Rep. Bill Crawford’sdeath
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76220>last week.  I had the
    opportunity — and pleasure — to interview Rep. Crawford this past
    summer for research for a new book chapter on/The Story of Crawford
    v. Marion County Election Board,/which will appear next year
    in/Election Law Stories/(Foundation Press 2016).  Rep. Crawford, the
    lead plaintiff in the voter ID case that went to the Supreme Court,
    was gracious, generous with his time, humble, and extremely helpful
    for my research.  He left quite a legacy.

    For those who want to learn more about him, below are several
    (draft) paragraphs from the forthcoming chapter that tell the story
    of his life and his involvement in the voter ID case.

    It is no surprise that William (Bill) Crawford became the lead
    plaintiff in the fight over Indiana’s new restrictive photo ID
    requirement, particularly given the racial overtones of the debate
    and the argument that racial minorities would suffer most under the
    law. Crawford was a long-serving Democratic member of the Indiana
    House of Representatives who represented the 98^th District, an area
    notorious for being one of the poorest in the state. He retired in
    2012 after being elected to twenty consecutive terms, leaving the
    Indiana House after forty years as the longest-serving black state
    lawmaker in U.S. history.

    **

    Crawford did not foresee dedicating his life to politics. Upon
    graduation from high school, the lifelong Indianapolis resident
    joined the U.S. Navy, a period of his life that left him “proud to
    serve his country, but affected by the blatant racism that was still
    prevalent in the military at the time.” Although the U.S. military
    was officially desegregated in 1948, opportunities for minority
    advancement remained minimal when Crawford joined in 1954. Two
    formative experiences involving race occurred during Crawford’s
    service. Once, while leading a ship, Crawford “pulled the sleeves on
    his uniform up to the elbow, in violation of official protocol,” and
    two white men of lesser rank working with Crawford commanded him to
    roll them down, an order that Crawford refused. As a result, a Navy
    officer ordered a court-martial for Crawford in August 1955 and
    handed down a thirty-day stint in the brig in South Carolina – a
    sentence Crawford never served.

    A few years later, Crawford, who had advanced to the rank of a
    Radarman Third Class, traveled to Norfolk, Virginia to sit for the
    second-class status exam. Prior to the assessment, an officer
    remarked to Crawford, “I don’t think blacks can lead whites . . . .
    I’m not going to allow you to take the test.” Crawford appealed the
    rejection to a captain, who agreed that the decision was wrong but
    supported the offending officer’s refusal anyway. Crawford left the
    Navy shortly after this incident, claiming that his experience in
    the military and the racism he encountered “helped frame [his]
    commitment to protest” and “taught [him] discrimination [and] . . .
    . the rules of the game and how to fight and that fighting is done
    in the right way.”

    After leaving the U.S. Navy in 1958, Crawford joined the U.S. Postal
    Service, where he was in charge of handling sensitive cargo and mail
    transported by train. Crawford was still working as a mail carrier
    in 1968 when civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. was
    assassinated. King’s death was “a very traumatic experience” for
    Crawford, and the then thirty-two-year-old military veteran, who was
    simultaneously working and attending the Indiana College of Business
    and Technology under the GI Bill, dropped out of school and left the
    post office to become involved in various community organizations.
    Activist Charles “Snookie” Hendricks hired Crawford to work at the
    Radical Black Action Bookstore, which sold materials aimed at
    empowering the black community.

    Additionally, Crawford joined an urban union of black activists,
    through which he became acquainted with then-state representative
    and future Congresswoman Julia Carson. In 1972, on the last day of
    filing for candidacy, Carson called Crawford to ask him to run for
    state representative because a lawyer slotted to run for one of the
    three seats given to Indianapolis districts at that time had backed
    out. Crawford agreed and was elected to the Indiana House after
    running on a platform of accountability, justice, and neighborhood
    development.

    Shortly after taking office in 1973, Crawford was assigned to the
    budget-writing House Ways and Means Committee. Although Crawford’s
    primary role on this committee was to protect the state’s fiscal
    health, he focused in particular on meeting the needs of the state’s
    underserved populations. For instance, he was proud of his ability
    to direct the allocation of over $30 million in state funds to
    research minority health issues.

    Outside of his appointment to the Ways and Means Committee, Crawford
    made various other contributions to minority groups and other
    underrepresented constituencies. In the 1970s, Crawford secured
    restitution from the state budget for two men who served time in
    prison after being wrongly convicted. In 1976, Crawford introduced
    legislation that called for the creation of district-specific seats
    on the Board of Commissioners for Indianapolis Public Schools.
    Crawford’s law resulted in the board having two at-large seats and
    five from districts around the city – which had the effect of
    providing greater geographic diversity and more opportunities for
    minority candidates to win a seat. In 1987, Crawford championed a
    bill that instituted a minority teacher scholarship program. Two
    years later he authored legislation that created the Low Income
    Housing Trust Fund. In 1993, he succeeded in passing the Minority
    Teacher’s Scholarship Fund, which provided a grant of up to $16,000
    for African-American and Latino teachers who agreed to work locally
    in Indiana. Crawford also authored legislation, of which he is “most
    proud,” that helped make Indiana the thirteenth state to prohibit
    the execution of mentally ill individuals.

    In addition to his legislative duties, Crawford also led major
    cultural institutions, twice serving as the president of the Indiana
    Black Expo. He was also the manager of outreach for Ivy Tech
    Community College of Indiana. Ivy Tech provides higher education
    opportunities to non-traditional students who do not immediately go
    to college after high school, minority groups, and those with
    financial difficulties. It now educates more African-American
    students than any other institution in Indiana; over half of all
    African-Americans who attend post-secondary school in Indiana go to
    an Ivy Tech campus. Crawford believed that education was important
    to civil rights and that “empowerment of people is the greatest
    thing you can do for economic development.” As Jeff Terp, a Senior
    Vice President at Ivy Tech, noted, “He sees every day that there are
    those that are poor and minority that don’t have equal access, and
    he want[s] equal access.”

    With respect to the photo ID law, Crawford, as a civil rights
    advocate, considered Indiana’s bill to be “patently offensive.” He
    agreed to serve as the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit because, as he
    put it, “I was willing and involved in the debate in the House. So I
    was simply the right person at the time.” During the litigation
    itself, Crawford remained engaged by rallying support and finding
    individuals and organizations that would file amicus briefs on his
    behalf.

    As Joe Simpson, the other lead plaintiff, said of Crawford’s
    involvement, “Someone had to step up to the plate, and
    Representative Crawford was the right person to do it. He had no
    fear of speaking up for those who could not speak for themselves.”

    “Why The Most Urgent Civil Rights Cause Of Our Time Is The Supreme
    Court Itself” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76246>

Posted onSeptember 28, 2015 7:39 am 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76246>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

I have writtenthis longread for TPM, 
<http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/supreme-court-greatest-civil-rights-cause>and 
I’ve been working on it for quite some time.  It begins:

    The future composition of the Supreme Court is the most important
    civil rights cause of our time. It is more important than racial
    justice, marriage equality, voting rights, money in politics,
    abortion rights, gun rights, or managing climate change. It matters
    more because the ability to move forward in these other civil rights
    struggles depends first and foremost upon control of the Court. And
    control for the next generation is about to be up for grabs, likely
    in the next presidential election, a point many on the right but few
    on the left seem to have recognized.

    When the next President of the United States assumes office on
    January 20, 2017, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be nearly 84,
    Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy will be over 80, and
    Justice Stephen Breyer will be 78. Although many Justices have
    served on the Court into their 80s and beyond, the chances for all
    of these Justices remaining through the next 4 or 8 years of the
    45th President are slim. Indeed, the next president will likely make
    multiple appointments to the Court.

    The stakes are high. On non-controversial cases, or cases where the
    ideological stakes are low, the Justices often agree and are
    sometimes unanimous. In such cases, the Justices act much like lower
    court judges do, applying precedents, text, history, and a range of
    interpretative tools to decide cases. In the most controversial
    cases, however—those involving issues such as gun rights,
    affirmative action, abortion, money in politics, privacy, and
    federal power—the value judgments and ideology of the Supreme Court
    Justices, and increasingly the party affiliation of the president
    appointing them, are good predictors of each Justice’s vote.

    A conservative like Justice Scalia tends to vote to uphold abortion
    restrictions, strike down gun restrictions, and view the First
    Amendment as protecting the right to spend unlimited sums in
    elections. A liberal like Justice Ginsburg tends to vote the
    opposite way: to strike down abortion restrictions, uphold gun laws,
    and view the government’s interest in stopping undue influence of
    money in elections as justifying some limits on money in politics.
    This to not to say it is just politics in these cases, or that these
    Justices are making crassly partisan decisions. They’re not. It is
    that increasingly a Justice’s ideology and jurisprudence line up
    with one political party’s positions or another because Justices are
    chosen for that very reason.
