"E-voting machines rejected"

The Oakland Tribune offers this report, with the subhead: "State says Diebold failures in massive mock election could translate to problems at polls."


Oral Argument Set for August 5 in Prop. 77 Case

Randy Riddle has posted the court's order here. What is significant to me is that the Third Appellate District did not recuse itself, as it has in the past when its former member, Daniel Kolkey, has been involved in the litigation.


Thernstrom on VRA

Abigail Thernstrom offers Emergency Exit, an oped in the NY Sun (paid subscription required). I can't read it without a subscription, but it is about renewal of section 5 of the VRA.


"Kennedy faults Roberts' views on Voting Rights Act"

A.P. offers this report. I'll have more to say about this soon.


Is the Answer to Union "Paycheck Protection" Corporate "Shareholder Protection?"

See this L.A. Times article with some very interesting developments in California.
