Important Note: Server Downtime

Beginning Friday, June 18, through Monday, June 21, the election law blog, the election law listserv, and my e-mail will likely be down for extended periods for scheduled downtime maintenance. For at least some of this time, the blog will be inacessible, the listserv will not post messages, and e-mail messages will not come through to me (though, frustratingly, you may not get a bounce message if you send me anything). Best bet to reach me during this period: send an e-mail to my backup email address: hasenr-at-netscape.net (replacing the -at- with @ of course).


South Dakota campaign finance controversy

A.P. offers a report that begins: "A group formed to encourage American Indian voting has ties to a defunct political action committee that gave more than $200,000 to the South Dakota Democratic Party."


Two Views of New APSA Report

The American Political Science Association recently released a task force report, America in an Age of Rising Inequality. Norm Ornstein comments favorably on the report here. Bob Bauer is less enthusaistic here.
