“Supreme Court Seems Ready to Curb ‘Faithless Electors’”<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=111371>
Posted on May 13, 2020 8:45 pm<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=111371> by Rick Hasen<https://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
Adam Liptak <https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/13/us/supreme-court-electoral-college.html?searchResultPosition=5> for the NYT:
The Supreme Court seemed ready on Wednesday to allow states to require members of the Electoral College to cast their votes for the presidential candidates they had pledged to support.
In two arguments concerning “faithless electors” from the states of Washington and Colorado, several of the justices focused on the practical consequences of their ruling or, as Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh put it, “the avoid-chaos principle of judging.”
“If it’s a close call or a tiebreaker,” he said, “we should not facilitate or create chaos.”

“FBI serves warrant on senator in investigation of stock sales linked to coronavirus”<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=111367>
Posted on May 13, 2020 8:32 pm<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=111367> by Rick Hasen<https://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
LAT:<https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-05-13/fbi-serves-warrant-on-senator-stock-investigation>
Federal agents seized a cellphone belonging to a prominent Republican senator on Wednesday night as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into controversial stock trades he made as the novel coronavirus first struck the U.S., a law enforcement official said.
Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, turned over his phone to agents after they served a search warrant on the lawmaker at his residence in the Washington area, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a law enforcement action.
The seizure represents a significant escalation in the investigation into whether Burr violated a law preventing members of Congress from trading on insider information they have gleaned from their official work.

I was glad to be a guest on the Free & Fair podcast.<https://soundcloud.com/freeandfair/flattening-the-absentee-ballot-curve> Episode description:
With the American electoral system under unprecedented stress, an expert committee led by legal scholar Richard L. Hasen (UCI Law and author of Election Meltdown)<https://www.amazon.com/Election-Meltdown-Distrust-American-Democracy/dp/0300248199/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=hasen+election+meltdown&qid=1565015345&s=digital-text&sr=1-1-catcorr> has put forth a report<https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/hasen/2020ElectionReport.pdf> of urgent recommendations in law, media, politics and technology to safeguard a free and fair November election. In this episode, Hasen joins our hosts Ned Foley (OSU Moritz College of Law) and Franita Tolson (USC Gould School of Law) to discuss the 14 recommended solutions, including his apt suggestion that voters “flatten the absentee ballot curve” by spreading their ballot applications over a longer period of time.

[cid:image004.jpg at 01D62967.E262BBA0]COVID-19 may fundamentally alter the way Americans vote. The Supreme Court’s decision in the Wisconsin primary is anticipated to spur future litigation. Petition gatherers are struggling to collect the requisite signatures due to social distancing guidelines. Primary elections are being postponed or cancelled. And vote from home systems are being explored by many states, but questions remain on voter fraud and system integrity.
As chief legal officers, Attorneys General are leading the discussion on how to best strengthen and protect our democracy. The Attorney General Alliance is pleased to invite you to hear directly from a bipartisan group of Attorneys General and to learn from a distinguished group of panelists on an issue affecting millions of Americans.

Supreme Court Justices Seem Wary of “Chaos” If Ruling for Lessig Side in Faithless Electors Cases<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=111343>
Posted on May 13, 2020 8:36 am<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=111343> by Rick Hasen<https://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
Justices from the left and right are worried about what it would mean to hold states can’t police electors who want to violate the requirement that they vote in line with the popular vote for president in the state. Justice Kavanaugh spoke of a judicial principle to “avoid chaos” in close cases.
I made this argument back in September in this Slate piece<https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/09/electoral-college-supreme-court-lessig-faithless-electors.html>.

All South Carolina voters will be able to request a mail-in absentee ballot for the upcoming June 9 primaries due to the coronavirus pandemic after state lawmakers approved a short-term bill Tuesday that added the ongoing state of emergency as a legal justification.
The unexpected move came just hours after a state Supreme Court hearing over the same issue, as South Carolina Democrats argued that the state’s limited absentee voting law would force many voters to risk their health in order to vote next month.
