With the crazy election season, I’ve let new books and articles pile up on my desk. I can’t see my students anymore, so here’s the list to clear my desk. I hope to turn to these items after the election.

Eskridge, Frickey and Garrett (eds), Statutory Interpretation Stories
Jay Weiner, This is Not Florida: How Al Franken Won the Minnesota Recount
James Roger Sharp, The Deadlocked Election of 1800:L Jefferson, Burr, and the Union in the Balance
Lorraine Minnite, The Myth of Voter Fraud (I read parts of this in draft; highly, highly recommended)
Council of Europe, Supervising Electoral Processes
Chris Goodman, Examining ‘Voter Intent’ Behind Proposition 209: Why Recruitment, Retention, and Scholarship Privileges Should Be Permissible Under Article I, Section 3, 27 Chicana/o -Latino/o Law Review 59 (2008), and (M)Ad Men: Using Persuasion Factors in Media Advertisements to Prevent a ‘Tyranny of the Majority’ on Ballot Propositions, 32 Com/Ent 247 (2010).
