#ELB: Coming July 1: The All New ELB: New Contributors, New Layout, and Some Great Content to Come electionlawblog.org/?p=122741
ELB survey results: readers are happy with the mix of news and commentary; want to see more coverage of the voting wars, redistricting, and campaign finance; and want more diversity of opinions and authorship.
Readers also found the site setup and navigation to be outdated and cumbersome; one survey respondent said it looked like a “Geo-cities 1995” website.
The ELB website will get a complete redesign, and housing on a new server. It will be easier to find content, things will look much more appealing, and resources will be easier to use.
#ELB contributors will take 1-2 weeks per year each as primary bloggers.This will give me a little relief. I've been the primary blogger since 2003, with just occasional breaks from @_justinlevitt_ or @DeanTokaji.
Also expanding "ELB book corner". Recently featured @ProfCiara book. Soon to feature books from Kurt Lash, @Nedfoley, @jessewegman, and Primo & Milyo.

So the Supreme Court as it comes to the end of the term has been issuing opinions Mondays and Thursdays. Next week they've moved to Monday-Wed-Friday. That could mean the final opinions come 6/25. But they could still spill over to the week of 6/28. 15 opinions to go!
15 opinion releases over 3 days is 5 per day, which is a LOT, especially in one. Some are more technical and small so it is possible. But 6/29 or even 6/28 and 6/29 seems possible for final SCOTUS opinions of the term.
The big cases I'm watching are about voting rights (Brnovich) and (indirectly) campaign finance disclosure (AFP v. Bonta).

But let's not forget the cursing cheerleader!

I begin to address that here: nytimes.com/2021/04/23/opi…
Some of my suggestions to counter election subversion:
I will be addressing much of my academic work over the next few years to the issue of the danger of election subversion. Stay tuned.

Coming up on @npratc with @nprAudie at the top of the hour talking about the latest state voting laws and how the federal government might respond. Tune in!
Here's the link to my talk with @nprAudie @npratc about how the federal government can respond to state election laws that make it harder to vote and easier to manipulate election outcomes

When asked what the most important thing Joe Biden could do to protect voting rights and prevent election subversion, I said to get Joe Manchin in a room and figure out what he wants to not only support legislation but blow up filibuster for voting rights.

No, and you know that's not what I meant Marc.

I meant there were lots of other voting rights groups in the fight before you (that are not associated with the Democratic Party) and that are doing excellent work.

Here's the link to the full Facebook decision, which requires Facebook to reexamine Trump's "indefinite" expulsion within 6 months and come up with a standard for a "proportionate" penalty. oversightboard.com/decision/FB-69… Perhaps permanent removal IS proportionate in this case.More soon
"If Facebook decides to restore Mr. Trump’s accounts, the company should apply its rules to that decision, including any changes made in response to the Board’s policy recommendations below. ...
"...In this scenario, Facebook must address any further violations promptly and in accordance with its established content policies. "

I'll be listening to the Supreme Court's argument in the AFP case, which may have major implications for the constitutionality of campaign finance disclosure laws. Listen here: c-span.org/video/?510032-…
CJ Roberts out of the bat suggests skepticism of moving this analysis to "strict scrutiny." But in McCutcheon case, Roberts affirmed but redefined exacting scrutiny in contributions context to make it closer to strict scrutiny.
The level of scrutiny matters a lot because the stricter the scrutiny, the more likely the courts will strike down the law as an unconstitutional infringement on rights.
