List housekeeping:
I'll be taking the week off; I'm back on July 7. So no news of the day after
this one. The list is still open to members for posting. Dan Lowenstein
is also gone beginning mid-week, so if subscription or list problems come
up (a rare occurrence), things will have to await my return. There will be
another short period like this at the end of July-beginning of August where
both Dan and I are gone. Happy Independence Day!

News of the day:
More on Vieth case
The New York Times offers this
report.
"Democrats Discovering Campaign
Law's Cost" The Washington Post offers this
report.
More on California recall See Dan Weintraub here,
on Sec. Shelley's response to his query about signature verification. Longtime
California political observer Tony Quinn e-mails the following comment: "I
don't think Shelley will succeed in keeping the issue off a fall ballot.
Even if they only verify the 375,000 in hand June 16, there will be 1.3 million
in hand by July 16, and he will be forced to report that number July 23.
That gives the counties one month to verify the 1.3 million, and that will
be enough time that he cannot delay it until March."
"Experts: Redistricting Decision Aids
Democrats" The Washington Post offers this
report.
"High Court Weighs Congressional Districts"
Here
is the A.P. report on the Vieth case.
