"Shelley May Get to Skip Testifying"

The Sacramento Bee offers this report.


"Congress Makes Reelection Official; Two Lawmakers Raise Objection to Ohio Balloting"

The Washington Post offers this report. See also this New York Times report.


"Bill to Toss Campaign Law Moves Ahead"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer offers this report, which begins: "A labor-backed group unhappy with Ohio's new campaign finance law filed the necessary paperwork Thursday to try to overturn it in November. Criticism of the law centers on the quadrupling of limits on most donations from $2,500 to $10,000. Critics argue that the change will send more money into a political system already awash in corruption."


Second San Diego Suit Filed

See stories in the San Diego Union-Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.


Washington State Update

Howard collects the links here. With the new information, I now believe a court-ordered revote is within the realm of the possible.
