Subject: Election Law teacher's manual/table of contents
This is a message for instructors using Daniel Hays Lowenstein and
Richard L. Hasen, Election Law-Cases and Materials (2d ed. 2001) in a
fall class. The teacher's manual is now complete. If you need an
electronic copy immediately, please send me a private message.
Otherwise, the manual should be printed and sent to you within two
weeks.
Also, any list member who wishes to see the table of contents for the
new book can access it at the following Carolina Academic Press link:

<p><b>Filed at 1:57 p.m. ET</b></p>
<p>MIAMI (AP) -- A lawsuit filed by civil rights groups who contend black=
voters were disenfranchised last November won't come to a quick resoluti=
on.</p>
<p>U.S. District Judge Alan Gold has denied motions by Secretary of State=
Katherine Harris to dismiss the suit and by a county elections superviso=
r for a summary judgment. The judge's order was filed Tuesday.</p>
<p>The lawsuit, which included complaints from the Nov. 7 presidential el=
ection, asked the judge to eliminate punch-card ballots used in 25 counti=
es, fix the state's system for purging voter lists and monitor Florida el=
ections for 10 years. There was no effort to overturn the results of the =
presidential race won by George W. Bush.</p>
<p>``We're pleased the court ruled the way it did,'' said Anita Hodgkiss,=
an attorney with the Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights Under Law. ``Al=
l of these were important steps for us.''</p>
<p>Harris, state elections chief Clay Roberts and county election supervi=
sors were named in the suit.</p>
<p>``Secretary Harris has consistently maintained that this lawsuit is un=
necessary as the election reform act has addressed virtually all of the i=
ssues it raises,'' said David Host, a Harris spokesman.</p>
<p>Harris' lawyers had asked the judge to delay the proceedings while the=
U.S. Justice Department considered the elections reform package. Approva=
l of voting changes is needed in five counties with a history of discrimi=
nation.</p>
<p>Lawmakers approved a $32 million election reform package in May that w=
ill eliminate punch-card and hand-counted paper ballots, and mechanical-l=
ever voting. All precincts will be required to have optical-scan or touch=
- -screen ballot systems in place for the 2002 fall election.</p>
<p>Gold approved a motion that would allow the civil rights groups to ame=
nd their case to account for the changes.</p>
<p>``On some of the claims, even if this law had been in effect, our plai=
ntiffs would not have been able to vote,'' Hodgkiss said. ``For others, w=
e want to see how it's implemented before we can be certain that it has s=
olved the problems.''</p>
<p>Harris' lawyers could refile their motions once the plaintiffs have am=
ended their case, her spokesman said.</p>
<p>Groups supporting the lawsuit said blacks were kept from casting ballo=
ts by antiquated voting machines, breakdowns in registration and purges o=
f registration lists that discarded rightful voters. Some voters were not=
given required language assistance, the groups charged.</p>
<p>The 22 plaintiffs include voters and others who say they were turned a=
way. Some applications were signed at state motor vehicle offices but wer=
e not processed, and about 17,000 letters were sent out informing people =
they couldn't vote because they were convicted felons.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, a Florida voter rights group sued state officials to hal=
t parts of the election reform law. The groups object to a list of voter =
responsibilities that will be posted in polling places, equating it to ``=
literacy tests'' used during the days of ``Jim Crow'' laws in the south.<=
