See A.P.;
the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution; the New
York Times (editorial); Bob
Bauer (commentary, also on leadership PAC issue in Congress). You
can find the entire opinion here.
Former member of Congress Jack Kemp has written this
oped. In testimony before a House Committee yeterday, Kemp took
the position that ex-felons should get their voting rights restored.
You can find it here. One
blogger points
to an answer by Ms. Miers that suggests she not only had failed to read
Chandler Davidson's book on voting rights, but she had not read any
entire book in some time. Thanks to Luke McLoughlin for the pointers.
Here is Dan Tokaji on "The Moneyball Approach to Election Reform."
Here is Ned Foley's analysis of the Vermont spending limits case pending before the Supreme Court.
Here
(with no apparent apologies to David Letterman) is "The Top 10
Unresolved Election Law Questions."
A.P. offers this
report from Arizona. The opinion is here.
Thanks to Steven Reyes for the links.
Dan Weintraub has posted this
very interesting item on his blog. (See this
announcement at the IGS website.) Meanwhile, the debate over Kos's
support of Prop. 77 continues.
