That means probably a quick ruling from the 3-judge court, and then the
state will go on to SCOTUS if the lower court does not grant a stay.

“Morning Digest: North Carolina’s congressional map gets struck
down, but Dems shouldn’t get excited”

<http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/02/09/1481925/-Morning-Digest-North-Carolina-s-congressional-map-gets-struck-down-but-Dems-shouldn-t-get-excited>:
Late on Friday afternoon, a federal court hearing a challenge to
North Carolina’s congressional map found that Republicans drew two
districts, the 1st and the 12th,in violation of the constitution
<http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article58756583.html>because
they’d impermissibly used race as the “predominant consideration” in
creating both seats. (The full opinionis available here
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/North-Carolina-Decision.pdf>.)
The court ordered that this year’s elections cannot take place under
the current lines and gave lawmakers until Feb. 19 to enact a
remedial plan, but Republicansare going to appeal
<http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/under-the-dome/article59132998.html>.
Rick Hasen thinks the Supreme Court islikely to stay the ruling
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=79671>, since absentee voting has
already begun for the state’s March 15 primary, though he believes
it’s “fairly likely” the decision will ultimately be upheld.
But for partisan purposes, will it matter either way? Stephen Wolf
concludesthe answer is no
<http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/5/1480735/-North-Carolina-s-congressional-map-gets-struck-down-in-court-but-Democrats-shouldn-t-get-hopes-up>.
Tar Heel Republicans drew the most fiendish gerrymander in the
nation this cycle, giving them 10 of North Carolina’s 13th
congressional districts, even though the state virtually split its
vote in the last two presidential elections. But the public record
they left behind made it clear that race was their foremost—indeed,
only—consideration in constructing the 1st and 12th Districts, and
that was their undoing in court.
However, as Wolf explains, Republicans can simply redraw the map
along strictly partisan lines (which is perfectly legal) and retain
their 10-3 advantage. (Rick Hasenagrees
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=79671>.) Democrats were able to
prevent this from happening after a similar redistricting ruling in
Virginia because they hold the governor’s mansion; in North
Carolina, however, Republicans control all the levers of power,
thanks to huge majorities in the legislature—which they also secured
thanks to some diabolically clever gerrymandering. So while this
ruling curbs one form of anti-democratic excess on the part of the
GOP, other, equally pernicious avenues are still open to them.

Nearly half the money pouring into all federal super PACs came
from just 107 people or groups that each gave $1 million or more to
influence the outcome of this year’s presidential and congressional
races, a USA TODAY analysis of new campaign finance reports shows.
I guess onlyworrywarts <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=79734>should be

Jeb Bush Campaign Backs Off His Suggestion to Amend Constitution to
Overturn Citizens United <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=79736>

MSNBC
<http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/jeb-bush-calls-amendment-fix-citizens-united>:
Bush’s campaign quickly stepped in to clarify the comments, saying
that the candidate was restating his old position and did not favor
reversing the court’s decision.
“He’s not advocating for additional restrictions on the ability of
an organization to have political speech, he’s calling for increased
transparency and for balancing it back to campaigns,” Bush campaign
spokesman Tim Miller told MSNBC.
Miller added that all of Bush’s proposed changes could be achieved
through Congress and would not legally require amending the
Constitution. To the extent a state-driven constitutional convention
might become involved, it would be to bypass political obstacles in
Washington.

“An alternative to nonstop political fundraising”

Eric Wang Wash. Times oped
<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/8/eric-wang-an-alternative-to-non-stop-political-fun/>:
The most logical and least constitutionally questionable measure to
ease members’ fundraising burden would be to substantially raise the
limits on campaign contributions. While worrywarts will
hyperventilate that this will exacerbate corruption, there is no
empirical evidence of this. In fact, comparing states’ contribution
limits with the Pew Center on the States rankings, the Center for
Competitive Politics found that of the 17 states with high or no
limits on contributions, seven scored “above average” for quality of
governance. By contrast, of the 16 states with low contribution
limits, only three scored “above average.”
Ah, the worrywarts.

“If [Clinton] takes the money, she gets hit with this McCarthyism of
the left, this guilt by association, even though there is no
evidence that taking this money has had any impact on her
policies,”former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told Politico
<http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/hillary-clinton-wall-street-fundraising-218737>last
week.
Back when Clinton wasn’t facing a tough primary challenge, Frank
suggested that it was impossible for politicians to avoid being
influenced by donors.
“People say, ‘Oh, [the money] doesn’t have any effect on me,'”Frank
told NPR
<http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/03/26/149390968/take-the-money-and-run-for-office>in
2012. “Well, if that were the case, we’d be the only human beings in
the history of the world who, on a regular basis, took significant
amounts of money from perfect strangers and made sure that it had no
effect on our behavior.”

I’m skeptical of Sanders’s case that Obama could have gotten a lot
more than he did or that his explanation accounts for why Obama did
achieve what he did. I’m also skeptical of Sanders’s case that he
can fundamentally transform the system. But his overall arguments
about big money skewing policy outcomes towards the wealthy are
generally valid — I strongly recommend Rick Hasen’s book
<http://www.amazon.com/Plutocrats-United-Campaign-Distortion-Elections/dp/0300212453/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455026348&sr=8-1&keywords=rick+hasen>about
it — and he’s forcing the debate about that subject on to the
national agenda, which is an unqualified good.

It does not appear this is limited to voters, and courts have ruled that
providing transportation to the polls does not violate anti vote-buying
prohibitions. (There was a case some years ago in Alaska about
discounted gasoline.)

Nothing illegal here apparently

See this letter to the editor
<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/07/books/review/letters-shedding-light-on-dark-money.html>to

Citizens United, SpeechNow and the FEC.
As to disclosure, the blame lies not with Citizens United, but with
Congress, the FEC, and the IRS.
