Thanks to Rick Hasen for the opportunity to guest blog over the past 14 days. In maintaining this blog Rick builds community and provides a service to us all. I’m appreciative of the blog and his many other contributions to our field. Thanks also to those of you who flagged items for me over the past couple of weeks.  

I’m excited to turn the blog over to Dr. Tabatha Abu El-Haj of the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law. Tabatha is a friend and prolific First Amendment and political process scholar who recently wrapped up her term as chair of the AALS Election Law Section.
