Democratic Party"

<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/14/us/politics/dnc-hack.html?ref=politics>
NYT:
The documents released Tuesday were not immediately as damaging as the first
trove, and they proved difficult to access. WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy
platform, posted multiple messages on Twitter explaining how to download the
documents after users struggled to do so. Initial reports suggested that
they were old records related to the committee's donor outreach program.
Their release is likely to put more focus on Russia's efforts to meddle in
the presidential election. American intelligence agencies and private
investigators
<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/us/politics/spy-agency-consensus-grows-th
at-russia-hacked-dnc.html> concluded in July that the hack was the work of
the Russian government.
I'd say it is getting less and less likely that we will actually see some
big October surprise from DNC documents. My guess is that if they had
something explosive to reveal, it would have been out by now. But we'll
see.

reports:
Mercer exemplifies a new breed of activist donors that has risen since the
Supreme Court kicked off a flood of big money into elections in 2010. As one
of the most influential figures in Trump's orbit, she threatens to undercut
the candidate's insistence that he is free from the influence of elite
contributors. And her access shows how donors can easily move between a
campaign and a super PAC that is supposed to operate independently.
In response to a question about Mercer's influence on the campaign, Trump
spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement: "The only special interest Mr.
Trump is beholden to is the American people."
The 42-year-old former Wall Street trader is not your typical mega-donor,
and not just because of the vast wealth of her father, who earned an
estimated $150 million last year, according to Forbes.

must-read Guardian John Doe story:
good example of the way things worked was the donation made by Donald Trump.
On 3 April 2012, two months before the governor faced the electorate, Walker
flew to New York for a rapid-fire string of fundraising meetings with big
money interests.
He travelled the length of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, making stops at the
investment bank Morgan Stanley, a hedge fund, a corporate law firm, and the
residence of publishing tycoon Steve Forbes. He also

Fifth Avenue lair.
There is no record of the conversation between the two men. But it appears
to have been a warm encounter, as the John Doe files show that Trump

<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86497> If a Presidential Nominee Or
President Elect Withdraws or Dies
Posted on <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86497> September 14, 2016 7:37 am
by <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=7> Richard Pildes
In response to lots of media requests on improbable election scenarios, I've
laid out in today's Washington Post/Monkey Cage,
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/09/14/what-happens-
if-a-u-s-presidential-candidate-withdraws-or-dies-before-the-election-is-ove
r/> here, the existing legal framework and gaps for the four crucial
contexts in which a presidential nominee or "President-elect" might withdraw
or die before being sworn into office:
1. The Republican or Democratic nominee withdraws or dies before the
November election.
2. The winner of the vote on election day withdraws or dies after the
election but before the electoral college meets and formally votes in
December.
3. The winner of the electoral college vote withdraws or dies before
Congress actually formally receives the vote from the electors and counts it
in January.
4. The winner of the electoral college vote, as received and counted
by Congress, withdraws or votes before being sworn in.
For some of these scenarios, what is most troubling is the absence of a
clear legal framework established in advance of the moment of crisis. It
would certainly be better for Congress to enact legislation to fill in the
gaps, where it has the power to do so, during the veil of ignorance that
exists before anyone knows which partisans would benefit from particular
legal rules. But I'm not betting on that happening.
For a fuller academic treatment of these issues, see Akhil Amar's article, "

<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86498> Wow. Wow. Wow: Guardian Publishes WI
"John Doe" Documents, Showing WI Republicans Panicked over Losing State
Supreme Court Control
Posted on <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86498> September 14, 2016 7:34 am

es-scott-walker-corporate-cash-american-politics?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other>
This is this week's must read. And it is bound to get attention as the
Supreme Court of the US considers whether to take up John Doe case.
I wish I had time to go through the 1500 pages of papers the Guardian has
posted along with this series.
A snippet:
By now the anxiety surrounding the fate of the Wisconsin supreme court
judge, David Prosser, is growing more intense. "This could stop everything
that Walker is trying to accomplish and [the unions] know it. Goes without
saying, that would be a bad thing,"
<http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3105950-Strategy-Coordination.html#d
ocument/p7/a317545> Seaholm says, writing to Tim Phillips, AFP's national
president.
By 20 March, two weeks before the election, worry is distilling into panic.
Brian Fraley of the Wisconsin-based conservative think-tank the MacIver
Institute, shoots an impassioned plea for help to what he calls his "group"
of like-minded lobbying groups and individuals, forwarded to Walker's chief
of staff and other top advisers in Madison.
<http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3105957-Prosser.html#document/p6/a31
7546> "David Prosser is in trouble," Fraley begins. "And if we lose him, the
Walker agenda is toast, as could be the Senate GOP majority and any
successes creating a new redistricted map. That's not hyperbole."
By the end of the bitter campaign, some $3.5m was spent by outside lobby
groups channeling undisclosed corporate money to support Prosser's
re-election - more than eight times the $400,000 the judge was allowed to
spend himself. That included $1.5m from WCfG and its offshoot Citizens for a
Strong America, and $2m from Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), all
of it in unaccountable "dark money".
It worked. <http://archive.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/122364728.html>
Prosser was re-elected, with a squeaky-tight margin of just 7,000 votes and
after a fraught recount. The following month, Walker boasted to the
Republican kingmaker, Karl Rove, "Club for Growth-Wisconsin was the
<http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3105957-Prosser.html#document/p18/a3
17547 > key to retaining Justice Prosser..
In a telephone interview with the Guardian, Prosser, who retired from the
state supreme court in July, said that in his view sufficient time had
passed between his re-election in 2011 and the judgment in the John Doe case
in 2015 for any potential conflict of interest to fade. "If this had been a
year after the contributions I think I would have had to withdraw, but it
was four years. There was no expectation on the part of recipient or givers
that the contributions were designed to effect litigation, and so the
contributions raised no questions whatsoever."
Prosser said that at the time of his re-election he was facing hostile TV
ads that falsely tried to link him to Walker's contentious anti-union
legislation Act 10, while he himself was unable directly to solicit large
amounts of campaign contributions under new strict fundraising limits
imposed by an earlier Democratic-controlled legislature. "I certainly
expected Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce sooner or later to put some
money into my campaign. Of course I was going to hope that somebody would
come in and defend me because I was unable to defend myself."
But the judge stressed that the only spending involved came from "third
parties in which no one on my campaign knew they were coming, didn't ask for
them, and frankly if they hadn't come I would have been blown out of the
water by false advertising".

<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2837927> Aggregate
Limits in the States
Forthcoming in Democracy by the People: Reforming Campaign Finance in
America (Timothy K. Kuhner and Eugene D. Mazo eds., Cambridge University
Press, 2017)
Abstract:
This chapter, written for an edited volume on campaign finance, examines
aggregate contribution limits and their potential to combat corruption. Base
limits cap the amount one can contribute to individual candidates, while
aggregate limits cap the amount one can give to all candidates. As I
explain, base limits should tend to affect the magnitude of corrupt acts
while aggregate limits should tend to affect their frequency. The Supreme
Court failed to appreciate that second point in McCutcheon v. FEC,
concluding that aggregate limits serve no anti-corruption purpose and
violate the Constitution. Many observers interpreted McCutcheon to foreclose
all aggregate limits, and some states stopped enforcing their aggregate
limits as a result, but that reaction is unjustified. McCutcheon does not
reach beyond federal law, and aggregate limits remain viable at sub-national
levels of government. They offer an under-theorized but important mechanism
for reducing corruption.
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2837796> Entrenchment,
Incrementalism, and Constitutional Collapse
Virginia Law Review, Forthcoming
Abstract:
Entrenchment is fundamental to law. Grand documents like the U.S.
Constitution, and mundane ones like city and corporate charters, entrench
themselves against change through supermajority rules and other mechanisms.
Entrenchment frustrates responsiveness, but it promotes stability, a rule of
law virtue extolled for centuries. It does so through a straightforward
channel: entrenched law is difficult to change. Scholars and legal designers
have long understood this idea, which can be called the first status quo
bias of entrenchment. I show that a second bias lurks: entrenchment confines
changes that do take place to incremental steps. As entrenchment deepens,
the scope of potential change to law collapses on the status quo. This has
implications for constitutional law, especially the debate about Article V
and the separation of powers, both of which shield the Constitution from
change more than scholars realize. It also illuminates several questions,
especially in comparative constitutional law, such as why constitutions
remain unpopular after amendment. Finally, it generates a theory of
constitutional failure. When voters' preferences evolve consistently in one
direction, entrenched law eventually becomes as unstable as ordinary law,
only less popular. Thus, entrenchment buys neither stability nor
responsiveness. Because entrenchment confines legal change to incremental
steps, amendment cannot correct the problem. This recasts fundamental
questions of legal design in new light, and it may explain why some
constitutions endure while others collapse.

<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86491> "Courts uphold trimming of Ohioans'
voting rights"
Posted on <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86491> September 13, 2016 6:22 pm
by <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3> Rick Hasen
<http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/09/13/absentee-votes-rul
ing.html> Darrel Rowland for the Columbus Dispatch:
In a pair of court decisions that could help Donald Trump, Ohioans' voting
rights were pared back Tuesday for the 2016 presidential election.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review an appeals court panel's 2-1
ruling throwing out Golden Week, the period in which Ohioans could both
register to vote and cast an early ballot.
Several hours later a separate but equally divided panel of that same
Cincinnati-based appellate court largely upheld restrictions enacted by the
GOP-dominated legislature in 2014 and signed by Republican Gov. John Kasich.
All that reshaped the Ohio electoral landscape to one less favorable to
minority and Democratic voters - and thus presumably more to Trump's liking.

<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86484> Another OH Voting Rights Loss:
Divided 6th Cir. Mostly Rejects Order Easing Absentee/Provisional Balloting
Posted on <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=86484> September 13, 2016 3:24 pm
by <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3> Rick Hasen
Over an impassioned dissent recounting the disparate racial effects of its
decision, a 6th Circuit panel h <https://t.co/WKFwktAUh4> as voted 2-1 to
mostly reject a district court order rejecting some Ohio voting rules which
make it harder for voters voting absentee or with provisional ballots. The
dissent accuses the majority of condoning racist laws that make it harder
for people of color to vote.
No one paying attention will fail to notice that the majority opinion was
written by two white, Republican appointed judges, while the dissent was
written by 94 year-old Damon Keith, an African-American judge appointed by
Jimmy Carter.
I expect that we will see a petition for review before the entire Sixth
Circuit in this case, which is a more likely path to reversal than before a
4-4 Supreme Court.
>From Judge Boggs' majority opinion:
In 2014, Ohio enacted Senate Bills 205 and 216. Among other changes to Ohio
election law, they (1) required county boards of elections to reject the
ballots of absentee voters and provisional voters whose identification
envelopes or affirmation forms, respectively, contain an address or
birthdate that does not perfectly match voting records; (2) reduced the
number of post-election days for absentee voters to cure
identification-envelope errors, and provisional voters to present valid
identification, from ten to seven; and (3) limited the ways in which poll
workers can assist in-person voters. The district court held that all three
provisions impose an undue burden on the right to vote and disparately
impact minority voters.
We affirm the plaintiffs' undue-burden claim only as it relates to the
requirement imposed by Senate Bill 205 that in-person and mail-in absentee
voters complete the address and birthdate fields on the identification
envelope with technical precision. We reverse the district court's finding
that the other provisions create an undue burden. We also reverse the
district court's finding that the provisions disparately impact minority
voters. We affirm the district court's other holdings.
And near the end of the majority opinion there's this:
We deeply respect the dissent's recounting of important parts of the racial
history of our country and the struggle for voting rights, and we agree that
this history may always be appropriately borne in mind. However, that
history does not without more determine the outcome of today's litigation
over voting practices and methods. The legal standards we must follow are
set out in the cases we discuss concerning the standards embodied in the
Fourteenth Amendment and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. With respect to
the dissent's discussion regarding factual findings, this opinion does not
quarrel with the district court over its recitation of the record or of any
credibility determinations made by the district court. Rather, our holding
is that the district court's legal conclusions from that record are in
certain parts erroneous, as set forth in this opinion, and in light of other
parts of the record that the court did not consider.
The lengthy dissent by Judge Keith begins:
Democracies die behind closed doors. Detroit Free Press v. Ashcroft, 303
F.3d 681, 683 (6th Cir. 2002). By denying the most vulnerable the right to
vote, the Majority shuts minorities out of our political process. Rather
than honor the men and women whose murdered lives opened the doors of our
democracy and secured our right to vote, the Majority has abandoned this
court's standard of review in order to conceal the votes of the most
defenseless behind the dangerous veneers of factual findings lacking support
and legal standards lacking precedent. I am deeply saddened and distraught
by the court's deliberate decision to reverse the progress of history. I
dissent.
In complete abandonment of the clearly erroneous standard of review, the
Majority displaces several of the district court's well-reasoned and
supported factual findings. The Majority's decision to gut the factual
findings of the district court and to advance legal standards without
precedent in order to shut the most vulnerable out of the political process
must be subjected to the natural antiseptic of sunlight. The unfettered
right to vote is the bedrock of a free and democratic society-without it,
such a society cannot stand. This right is fundamental. It is the most
valuable right a person possesses, because without it, all other rights are
meaningless. As history has shown time and time again, laymen and jurists
alike have actively worked to deny the right to vote to minorities, in both
obvious and obscure ways. The Voting Rights Act ("VRA"),1sought to right
this wrong by allowing all citizens-unrestrained-to exercise their right to
vote regardless of race. While the VRA and Equal Protection Clause sought to
bring this nation forward, closer to a society free of racial
discrimination, today the Majority's opinion takes us several steps back.
Because the Majority has completely ignored the applicable standard of
review and has instead engaged in its own fact finding and reweighing of the
evidence in complete disregard for the clearly erroneous standard of review,
because the Majority has created a legal standard in contradiction to
existing case law based on a concurring opinion and dictum, and because the
Majority has dishonored the struggle for the right of the most vulnerable to
vote, I dissent. I would instead affirm the district court in full.
