Here
is the press release. If anyone has a copy of the complaint, please
e-mail it, or a link, to me, and I'll post it here as an update.
I received the following reprints recently:
David S. Gamage, Note, Taxing Political Donations: The Case for Corrective Taxes in Campaign Finance, 113 Yale L.J. 1283 (2004).
Craig Holman, The Bipartisan Campagn Reform Act: Limits and Opportunities for Non-Profit Groups in Federal Elections, 31 Northern Kentucky Law Review 243 (2004) [the Holman article is part of a symposium also featuring artiles by Kenneth D. Katkin, James Bopp. Jr. & Richard E. Coleson, and Edward B. Foley]
Daniel P. Tokaji, First Amendment Equal Protection: In Discretion, Inequality, and Participation, 101 Michigan Law Review 2409 (2003).
A.P. offers Felons
Paid in Voter Registration Drive.
The lead: "A Democratic group crucial to John Kerry's presidential
campaign has paid felons - some convicted of sex offenses, assault and
burglary - to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in at
least three election swing states." A key sentence: "Felons on
probation or parole are ineligible to vote in many states. Doug Lewis,
executive director of the Election Center, which represents election
officials, said he is unaware of any laws against felons registering
other people to vote."
The Palm Beach Post offers this
report,
which begins: New federal election laws intended to help candidates
compete against millionaire opponents spending their own money are
proving confusing, unworkable and potentially detrimental to Florida's
U.S. Senate campaign. Even officials with the Federal Election
Commission acknowledge that the laws are too complex and leave too many
questions unanswered." Thanks to Dan Smith for the pointer.
The Boston Globe offers this
report. Thanks to Bill McGeveran for the pointer.
