With the imminent arrival of 2024, which we all anticipate to be a challenging year for our field of election law, I’ve started a Substack journal called Common Ground Democracy. Its main focus will be to address structural issues relating to collective self-government–topics like ranked-choice voting, the role of partisan primaries, and how best to translate the divergent preferences of voters into electoral outcomes. It will also consider the operation of the existing electoral system as it unfolds during this difficult year.

I will plan to cross-post here on ELB entries there that I think make sense to bring to ELB’s readership, and I continue to greatly appreciate the privilege and trust that Rick has given me in letting me post directly on this site. But I want to avoid inundating ELB with my musings on questions of democratic theory and the problems of social choice. If you are interested, I hope you will subscribe (it’s free).
