    “Alabama’s New Fight for Voting Rights”

Spencer Woodman 
<http://www.vice.com/read/51-years-after-selma-new-fight-for-voting-rights-in-alabama?platform=hootsuite>for 
Vice:

    The recent proliferation of new restrictions has inflected the
    celebrations in Selma this week with worries of a resurgent era of
    voter suppression—concerns that have taken on new urgency ahead of
    the first presidential election since the landmark/Shelby/decision.
    And Alabama provides a striking example of post-/Shelby/uncertainty
    among civil rights activists.

    In the nearly three years since the/Shelby/decision, the state’s
    implementation of the voter ID law has been something of a saga. In
    September 2015, for instance, following a budget cut by the Alabama
    Legislature, the state ordered theclosure of 31
    <http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/17/alabama-voting-voter-id-driving-license>of
    the Department of Motor Vehicle’s part-time satellite offices, many
    of which served poor, rural regions. Given that unequal access to
    state-issued identification cards was their primary argument against
    the state’s voter ID law, civil rights groups were outraged by the
    closures, and claimed the move would further limit minority voters’
    access to Alabama’s polls.

    “Elections director keeps bill details from Democrats”

<http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/politicalinsider/2016/03/08/elections-director-keeps-bill-details-democrats/81492500/>

    Elections Director Eric Spencer, the author of the controversial
    overhaul of Arizona’s campaign-finance laws, apparently doesn’t like
    pushback.

    He had told Senate Democrats he would share a major amendment to
    Senate Bill 1516 with them before it came up for a floor debate
    Tuesday. But, he told/The Arizona Republic/, he changed his
    mind when the state Democratic Party used a media account of the
    bill to do some fundraising last weekend.

    And when the attorney for the Senate Democrats inquired about the
    whereabouts of the amendment the night before the debate, Spencer
    reiterated his pique in an emailed reply and attached the
    offending fundraising pitch.

    “(Y)ou’ll have to take that up with the Senate,” Spencer wrote.
    “Unfortunately, the partisan attacks this weekend have foreclosed
    any concessions I’m able to offer at this point.”

    The Center for Competitive Politics (CCP), America’s largest
    nonprofit working to promote and defend First Amendment rights to
    free political speech, assembly, and petition announced that five
    public relations firms filed a lawsuit in federal court today
    seeking to block a new lobbying rule by the New York State Joint
    Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE). That advisory opinion would
    force public relations professionals to register as lobbyists.

    “Reconstituting the Buckley Framework: A Response to “The Appearance
    and Reality of Quid Pro Quo Corruption””

Michael Morley 
<http://www.scribd.com/doc/303303934/Reconstituting-the-Buckley-Framework-A-Response-to-The-Appearance-and-Reality-of-Quid-Pro-Quo-Corruption>:

    Professor Christopher Robinson and his co-authors’ recent draft,
    “The Appearance and Reality of/Quid Pro Quo/Corruption: An Empirical
    Analysis,” discusses their empirical studies which reveal, among
    other things, that mock grand jurors are exceedingly willing to
    indict a fictitious officeholder and CEO of a corporation for what
    amounts to an independent expenditure. Their paper reveals a
    fundamental tension at the heart of campaign finance jurisprudence.
    The framework set forth in/Buckley v. Valeo/suggests that, if
    independent expenditures are proven to create an appearance of
    corruption, then the Government may regulate or even prohibit them.
    Yet/Buckley/and four decades of subsequent campaign finance
    jurisprudence flatly reject virtually any limits or prohibitions on
    independent expenditures. Robinson’s article brings this conflict to
    a head: empirical evidence that independent expenditures give rise
    to an appearance of corruption could force the Court to approve
    restrictions or even prohibitions on independent expenditures.

    This Response instead recommends avoiding the entire problem
    implicated by Robinson’s research, by revising/Buckley/‘s reasoning
    while maintaining its ultimate conclusions. The Court should hold
    that the possibility or even appearance of corruption is not a
    constitutionally sufficient basis for limiting the amount of
    independent expenditures a person or entity may make.  In the
    absence of actual/quid pro quo/corruption, pure speech should not be
    proscribed simply because a candidate or officeholder might
    unilaterally choose to exercise their official discretion favorably
    to the speaker in response, or the public might believe such
    reciprocation could occur.

    The issues discussed in both Robinson’s article and this Response
    concerning the factual underpinnings of the Court’s campaign finance
    jurisprudence are also analyzed in greater depth in “Contingent
    Constitutionality, Legislative Facts, and Campaign Finance Law,”

    “Sanders lawsuit: Ohio official changed law to block 17-year-olds

CNN 
<http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/08/politics/bernie-sanders-lawsuit-ohio-teenage-voters/>:

    Bernie Sanders’ campaign on Tuesday sued Ohio Secretary of State Jon
    Husted, accusing the Republican of quietly changing a law in an
    effort to block 17-year-olds from voting in the state’s presidential
    primary next week.

    Husted, however, insisted that there had been no change in the law.

    The Secretary of State believes that the law does not apply to
    presidential primaries, because presidential primaries are really
    elections for Delegate to national conventions. However, the
    Secretary’s stance on this contradicts what he has told the press
    about whether the Ohio sore loser law and the Ohio law on
    affiliation of independent candidates apply to presidential primaries.

    “The Appearance and the Reality of Quid Pro Quo Corruption: An
    Empirical Investigation” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=80673>

Posted onMarch 8, 2016 12:05 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=80673>byRick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Christopher Robertson and three co-authors have postedthis draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2740615>on SSRN 
(forthcoming, /Journal of Legal Analysis/).  Here is the abstract:

    he Supreme Court says that campaign finance regulations are
    unconstitutional unless they target “quid pro quo” corruption or its
    appearance. The Court has used this doctrine to strike down many
    efforts at campaign finance reform. However, the court has merely
    speculated or reasoned in a conclusory way about when that criterion
    is satisfied. To operationalize and test the “appearances” standard,
    we fielded two empirical studies. First, in a highly realistic
    simulation, three grand juries deliberated on charges that
    ”independent” campaign spending in a Congressional race met the
    legal standard for bribery of the candidate. Second, 1276
    nationally-representative online respondents considered whether to
    convict in such a scenario, with five variables manipulated randomly
    to enhance generalizability. In both studies, jurors found quid pro
    quo corruption for behaviors they believed to be common in
    contemporary politics. Because these tests use the procedural and
    substantive apparatus of Federal law to operationalize the quid pro
    quo corruption concept and draw from a diverse population of
    respondents, they are a stronger test of the “appearances” standard
    than mere opinion polling or judicial speculation. The data suggest
    that prior Supreme Court’s decisions were wrong, and that Congress
    and the states have greater authority to regulate campaign finance.
    This research also suggests that actual prosecutions under current
    bribery laws are surprisingly viable, but this risk is deeply
    problematic under the First Amendment, Due Process, and Separation
    of Powers doctrines. A regulatory system using safe harbors may be a
    solution.

    “COLUMN: I tried to get a voter ID card, here is what happened”
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=80669>

Posted onMarch 8, 2016 11:36 am

 From a 
student<http://www.technicianonline.com/opinion/article_5cac73d2-db75-11e5-8921-036c6bef3d9d.html>at 
North Carolina State, Logan Graham:

    So, off I headed to the Department of Registration and Records and,
    after a quick five-minute wait, I had an official transcript in
    hand. Time wise, gaining the second form of ID had been quite easy,
    but, unfortunately the transcript wasn’t free. It cost me $12 to get
    the stamped, official transcript the DMV required — suddenly, the
    free voter ID was no longer free.

    Yet, nevertheless, I had my IDs in hand, and I set off to the DMV.
    For the next three hours, however, I ended up traversing buses
    around the city. I was turned down at the DMV and shipped off at the
    Wake County Board of Elections, but, at the Board of Elections, I
    was again turned down, told that I was in fact supposed to get my
    voter ID at the DMV. Armed with pamphlets from the Board of
    Elections that clearly specified the DMV had to provide me with an
    ID, I was ready to return to the DMV. Unfortunately, after spending
    three hours riding buses around Raleigh, the DMV had shut down for
    the night. So instead I returned back to campus. In a day where I
    had spent $12 and three hours trying to track down an ID, I had
    nothing to show for my work.

    The next day I was back at it. In the middle of the day, I had a
    three-hour break between classes which, I could only assume would
    give me enough time to gain the ID. When I arrived at the DMV the
    second time, I was armed with the pamphlets I had been given at the
    Board of Elections, and was quickly allowed to enter. Yet, moving
    past the front desk, I was met with a long line. For two hours I
    waited in the line waiting for my number to be heard, for two hours
    I listened to the same robotic voice calling out numbers, and for
    two hours my number was never called. Finally, with my afternoon
    classes just a half hour away, I had to call it. I left the DMV,
    boarded another bus back to campus, and still had no more IDs than I
    had started with two days earlier.

    In total, I’ve spent $12 and six hours trying to get an ID. If I
    include the cost of time wasted set at North Carolina’s minimum wage
    of $7.25, my attempt to gain an ID has cost $55.50 so far. The
    stipulation, then, that a voter ID is free and simple to obtain, is
    completely inaccurate when we put the process into action.

    Today, as my quest for a voter ID continues, I’m hesitant to go back
    and spend another three hours waiting in line, only to be forced to
    give up and return back to campus for class. All college students
    are busy, and the out-of-state students who need another ID to vote
    simply don’t have enough time to spend waiting in lines at the DMV
    to get one.

Yup,beware the “softening.”

    “Republicans created dysfunction. Now they’re paying for it.”

Masterful Mann and Ornsteinat WaPo: 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-theory/wp/2016/03/08/republicans-created-dysfunction-now-theyre-paying-for-it/>

    “The Republican Party has become an insurgent outlier —
    ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and
    economic regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional
    understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the
    legitimacy of its political opposition.” That passage, which framed
    a core part of the argument of our 2012 book,/It’s Even Worse Than
    It Looks/, wasvilified by
    <https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/ornstein-and-manns-op-ed-blaming-republicans-it-was-a-parody-right/2012/04/30/gIQABq0qrT_blog.html>conservative
    commentators
    <https://www.nationalreview.com/nrd/articles/302211/extremely-non-partisan>,
    called a rant and a parody.

    Fast forward to 2016. Incredibly, Republican destructiveness  is
    even worse than it was four years ago — and the party is paying for
    it with a surge of anti-establishment populism that is tearing apart
    its coalitional base.
