This course examines judicial and legislative regulation of the political and electoral process. Two main themes are explored: First, how do legislatures, including Congress and state governments, regulate campaigns, elections, and participants in the political process. Second, under what conditions are judges justified to intervene in the political process. Topics to be examined include: The enduring legacy of the Florida 2000 Bush v. Gore litigation, McCain-Feingold (BCRA); reapportionment and legislative districting; elections and ballot access; bribery and campaign finance reform; the right to vote along with the battles over alleged voter fraud and suppression; regulation of political action committees, political parties, unions, and corporations. In addition, course will also examine specific election laws and regulations in Minnesota.
