Michigan Journal of International Law
Part II of this paper will chart the historical background of the process that led up to the cease-fire and elections agreement. Part III will study various international instruments which guarantee the right to free and fair elections in order to determine the contours of the right as it exists today. In Part IV, this paper will look at the existing academic literature to give a more complete understanding of the requirements for a free and fair election. Part V of the paper will apply these standards to the elections in Cambodia and conclude that they were, in fact, free …

"We Are The People": Alien Suffrage In German And American Perspective, Gerald L. Neuman
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article will explore the constitutional debate over alien suffrage in the FRG, both for its own interest and in order to compare it with understandings of alien suffrage in the United States. As the interdependence of national economies deepens and regional "common market" arrangements multiply, more nations (including the United States) may be called upon to rethink the question of alien suffrage. The thoroughness and the explicitness with which the German legal community has debated this issue has brought to the surface arguments and assumptions that remain latent in U.S. commentary on the political status of aliens. Thus, the …

The Triumph Of Tokenism: The Voting Rights Act And The Theory Of Black Electoral Success, Lani Guinier
Michigan Law Review
In this article, my goal is to organize the divergent themes of black electoral success strategy within one conceptual framework in order to give the themes more cogency and attention. Having exposed the existence of a coherent theory, I then argue that the theory posits many of the correct goals but fails to provide a realistic mechanism for achieving them. The article proceeds in three Parts. In Part I, I develop the ideological and statutory roots of black electoral success theory. In Part II, I analyze the inadequacies of current voting rights litigation and its failure to realize the statute's …

Kach V. Central Election Committee For The Twelfth Knesset, Meir Shamgar, Menachem Elon, Moshe Bejski, Dov Levin, Shlomo Levin
Translated Opinions
The Appeal revolved around the decision of the Central Election Committee for the Twelfth Knesset, under its authority according to section 63 of the Knesset Elections Act [Consolidated Version] 1969, that the “Kach” List be barred from participating in elections to the Knesset, under section 7A of Basic Law: The Knesset. The Appellant’s argue that section 7A, which was added to Basic Law: The Knesset is invalid for the following reasons: it is inconsistent with the principle of equality as established by section 4 of Basic Law: The Knesset; it is an extreme divergence from the principles of democracy and …
Some Modest Proposals On The Vice-Presidency, Richard D. Friedman
Some Modest Proposals On The Vice-Presidency, Richard D. Friedman
Articles
There are many good things in the Constitution, but the vice-presidency isn't one of them. In Part I of this essay, I will argue that there are three basic problems with the vice-presidency: the method of nomination, the method of election, and the office itself. That just about covers the waterfront.' If we had to do it all over again, we almost certainly would not" create the system we currently have. We cannot undo history, but we do have a very strong incentive to develop a better system of succession to the presidency. Whom we choose as vice-president is a …

Racial Gerrymandering And The Voting Rights Act In North Carolina, Robert N. Hunter Jr.
Campbell Law Review
The purpose of this article is to examine the Gingles v. Thornburg decision in light of the right to vote in North Carolina. The article first focuses on the history of North Carolina's election laws, which initially secured the right to vote for all its citizens and subsequently restricted the franchise, first directly and later through the use of electoral mechanisms. The article will then examine the legal history of federal court decisions securing mathematical equality in voting power for racial and political minorities prior to the Gingles decision. In order to understand this decision, it is important to remember …
At-Large Elections And Vote Dilution: An Empirical Study, Richard A. Walawender
At-Large Elections And Vote Dilution: An Empirical Study, Richard A. Walawender
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The 1982 amendments to the Act, however, have remained a subject of controversy. Opponents of the Act misperceive municipal at-large electoral systems, believing they provide as much minority representation as single-member district systems. This Note addresses that misperception with data showing that at large schemes provide significantly less minority representation than other schemes. The various standards used by federal courts in reviewing the constitutionality of at-large election systems are outlined in Part I. Part II sets forth an analysis of Congress's response to the judicial ambivalence toward at-large elections- the 1982 amendments to section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. …

Sayler Land Co. V. Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District: Opening The Floodgates In Local Special Government Elections, Michigan Law Review
Sayler Land Co. V. Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District: Opening The Floodgates In Local Special Government Elections, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In judicial review of the constitutionality of representational structures at the local governmental level, each citizen's constitutional right to equal representation must be reconciled with the need for flexibility in designing local structures. Last term, in Salyer Land Co. v. Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, the Supreme Court faced this problem in the context of a water storage district. It upheld a statute that both restricted the franchise in the election of district directors to district landowners and allocated votes on the basis of the assessed value of the land owned by each voter. This Note will first …

Delegate Selection Reform And The Extension Of Law Into Politics, Joseph Vining
Articles
The fact that the 1972 presidential election introduced the formalities and some of the ideals of law into the gestation of national political power has been overshadowed by revelations about other aspects of the election campaign. But it will not be long before power will have to be organized and generated again from apartment blocks, meeting halls, and coffee parties, and ultimately incarnated in another President. At some point hearing examiners for the National Democratic Party will appear again in various communities. Rules will be studied, records made, and appeals taken, all for the purpose of deliberately deciding who may …
The Submerged Constitutional Right To An Absentee Ballot, Michigan Law Review
The Submerged Constitutional Right To An Absentee Ballot, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In an attempt to accommodate the growing number of people who cannot be present at the polls on election day, many states and the federal government have enacted statutes that allow voters to cast their ballots in advance of the election either by mail or in person. Eligibility for these absentee ballots is, however, restricted to those voters who fall within the classifications set up by the statute, and occasionally the option is open only to those who wish to vote in general elections. The few court decisions that have reviewed state absentee-ballot legislation, or the lack of such legislation, …

Constitutional Standards Applicable To Voter Registration Closing Dates, Jeffrey M. Petrash
Constitutional Standards Applicable To Voter Registration Closing Dates, Jeffrey M. Petrash
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Judicial pronouncements during the last decade on the relationship between the state, the voter, and the Federal Constitution have circumscribed the power states formerly enjoyed to impose restrictions on availability of the franchise. Nevertheless, all states but one maintain voter registration systems, one element of which is a closing date which cuts off registration at a stipulated point in time prior to election day. While in a statistical sense large scale de facto disfranchisement results from the use of closing dates, a distinct issue is presented as to whether this disfranchisement is of a type that is proscribed by the …

Katzenbach V. Morgan And The 18 Year Old Vote, E. Rick Buell Ii
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Recently the 91st Congress passed the Voting Rights Act Amendments of 1970. The provisions of the statute include Title III which extended the right of suffrage to eighteen year old citizens in all federal, state, and local elections. The basis for enacting Title III was the belief of Congress that citizens between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, by being denied the right to vote, were being denied equal protection of the laws as required by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The purpose of this note is to briefly trace the historical development of Congress' power to …
