The University of Kentucky College of Law Election Law Society, a law student organization, and election law professor, Joshua A. Douglas, announce the first of its kind at UK – an Election Analysis Blog. http://www.uky.edu/electionlaw/
Professor Douglas, the Robert G. Lawson and William H. Fortune Associate Professor of Law, and students from the Election Law Society will provide live analysis on legal issues surrounding the election as results pour in across the Commonwealth and the nation. They will field questions from the general public and media and provide ongoing commentary on any legal issues that may arise.
There have already been significant lawsuits in the past few weeks – about Kentucky’s 300-foot ban on electioneering around a polling site, allegations of false campaign advertising, voter ID laws, and more – that will impact Election Day. The U.S. Senate race in Kentucky between Alison Lundergan Grimes and Mitch McConnell is one of the most expensive – and potentially one of the closest – in the country. UK’s Election Analysis Blog will chronicle it all.
Good luck to Josh Douglas and the students at UK. They join the great State of Elections blog at William and Mary whose law students do a consistently excellent job.
