[EL] Election law listserv housekeeping---CCP Mailing List

Wed Aug 31 08:47:59 PDT 2016

As Rick notes, the Center for Competitive Politics also has a daily email update. It covers stories related to political speech and campaign finance, and also highlights CCP’s recent work.

If you’d like to sign up for our email list, you can do so at CCP’s website here<http://www.campaignfreedom.org/> (just below the main scroll). Or you can email me directly at sblackburn at campaignfreedom.org<mailto:sblackburn at campaignfreedom.org>.

Thanks to Rick for this opportunity. And thanks for maintaining this listserv and sending out the daily updates. It is a job that requires a deceptively large amount of work, and his efforts are much appreciated.

Subject: [EL] Election law listserv housekeeping---PLEASE READ

It is August, and that means it is time for an annual message to list users, with some reminders and requests for updated information.  Please save this email for future reference.

1. Handling subscriptions and archives.  The current web home page for the election law listserv is here:

http://department-lists.uci.edu/mailman/listinfo/law-election

Use this address if you need to unsubscribe or change your subscription, move to "digest" mode, or access the archives.

[The pre-June 2011 archives are still on Loyola's servers, with many thanks to Loyola: http://mailman.lls.edu/pipermail/election-law/.]

If you are abandoning an email address (such as by leaving a position at a job), please remember to unsubscribe before you go.

2. Election law teacher database.  The current version of the Election Law Teacher database (listing information about those who teach election law) is here:

http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/Election-Law-Database-2015.xlsx

As I noted in a separate email, please send any additions or updates to my assistant, Stacy Tran, by Monday Aug. 8.

3. Election law addressbook.  This service has now been moved over to UCI Law. It provides lists of addresses for those who wish to receive election law article reprints or find someone's email address.  You can access the list to make changes, print labels, or add yourself as a new addressee.  To access the page you need to use the username "election" and the password, which is the same as the password at the old Loyola site. If you do not remember the password, please send a private message to my assistant, Stacy Tran, (stran at law.uci.edu<mailto:stran at law.uci.edu>) and she will email it to you.

Once you have the username and password, go to the following address:
https://apps.law.uci.edu/electlaw

4. Repository of election law teaching materials.  You can find old exams, syllabi, etc. from a number of election law professors here:

http://electionlawblog.org/archives/003647.html

with a 2010 update, done by Josh Douglas:
http://electionlawblog.org/?p=15839

My 2013 syllabus is here:
http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/SYLLABUS.15-electlaw.doc<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/SYLLABUS.13-electlaw.pdf>

It would be a great project for someone to collect newer teaching materials and post them. I can then link on ELB and send out to the listserv.

5. Signing up for other mailing lists and blog postings.  In an effort to keep traffic on the election law list manageable, we ask that those who maintain mailing lists for their election law related organizations or blogs send out a single, annual notice to the election law listserv about how to sign up for an electronic mailing list.  (Among those sending regular mailings I receive are (in no particular order):  CCP, CLCBlog, James Madison Center, Fairvote, Moritz, Campaign Finance Institute, Electionline, and the EAC.)  These groups and others should send out an annual reminder message some time during August with information about how to sign up to receive regular emailings.  Please do not get in the regular habit of sending press releases directly to the list.  Send it to me for possible inclusion in the blog.

6. Quoting from listserv posts, for journalists and others/Google searches.  Here is a reminder of our press policy:  "Members of the press may subscribe to the listserv and may describe in general terms the substance of discussion on the list, but should not quote posted comments or attribute ideas to specific individuals without the consent of the individuals."  Though we have endeavored to keep list archives off Google and other search engines, in the past some list postings have shown up on Google.  A good rule of thumb is that everything you post on the list eventually will be read by your spouse, mother, boss, adversary, and every journalist in the U.S, and will remain on the Internet indefinitely.  In other words, think before you hit the "send" button.

With over 1100 listserv subscribers, administrative issues can take some time.  Your cooperation helps keep things moving smoothly.  We always welcome your suggestions for improvements.

Rick and Dan
