Post Citizen United: The Lack Of Political Accountability And Rise Of Voter Suppression In A Time Of Newly Defined Corruption, Hannah S. Fullerton
Scripps Senior Theses
In 2010, our definition of democracy in America was drastically changed by the Supreme Court case Citizens United v. FEC. The Court ruled that under the First Amendment, corporations have the right to free speech. The decision removed the final ban on corporations, which prohibited corporate money used for direct advocacy. The consequences of this have been tremendous. The decision has allowed for the creation and rise of Super PACs and political active nonprofits. As a result, Super PACs and nonprofits now act as “shadow campaigns”. Outside groups have the ability to engage in voter suppression tactics without politically hurting …

Discouraging Election Contests, Joshua A. Douglas
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This essay offers a few proposals for discouraging losing candidates from contesting the certified result of an election. The ultimate goal in any election, of course, is to ensure that a state declares as the winner the person who actually received the most votes. But when an election is close, a candidate on the losing side might see an incentive to continue the fight in the courts on the off-chance that it would change the outcome. The candidate could challenge, for example, certain provisional or absentee ballot—even if the likelihood that the candidate will win is slim (but still theoretically …

University of Richmond Law Review
This essay proceeds in three sections. Section I lays the founda- tion for why our system encourages-or at least does not dis-suade-the filing of post-election contests in close races. Section
II posits that election contests are often bad for our democracy, explaining why post-election litigation might harm the ideals of finality, certainty, and legitimacy in the election process. SectionIII sets out three structural reforms that might make losing candidates think twice before initiating an election contest. Ultimately, the goal of this essay is to promote a broader discussion of the propriety of post-election litigation and what we can do to …

Legislation and Policy Brief
It’s Election Night 2016. Brian Williams stands by at NBC, waiting to give the first returns of the night. “Kentucky to Christie,” Williams triumphantly announces to kick off the evening’s festivities. Kentucky turns flush red on NBC’s virtual election map. Williams continues: “Maryland to Clinton.” Now comes the hard part for Williams. Clinton won Maryland by an incredible two-to-one margin. NBC viewers intently watch the map, expecting to see the Old Line State turn blue. Instead, Maryland sits idly in its static grey color. This election has something new.
Confused NBC viewers keep watching, waiting for Williams to provide an …

Appellate Briefs
The Voting Rights Initiative ("VRI") at the University of Michigan Law School is a faculty-student collaborative research venture under the direction of Professor Ellen D. Katz. In 2005, VRI undertook a comprehensive analysis of all cases involving claims brought under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act since 1982 that resulted in one or more decisions published in a federal reporter or available on Westlaw or Lexis-a total of 763 decisions in 331 lawsuits. Each case was evaluated and catalogued based on a variety of factors, including whether it involved a jurisdiction "covered" under Section 5, the substan- tive outcome, …

Proposition 8: California Law After In Re Lance W. And People V. Castro, Mark Dyer Klein, Randall A. Cohen
Pepperdine Law Review
Until recently, California provided a relatively high level of constitutional protection to criminal defendants. With the passage of Proposition 8 in 1982, the California voters expressed their desire to decrease this level of protection in order to remove impediments to the effective prosecution of criminally accuseds. This comment will examine two of the major provisions of Proposition 8 and their effect on California law in light of major cases decided by the California Supreme Court in 1985.
