I hope to write more about this soon. In the meantime, A.P. reports “Alito Could Shift Court on Major Issues,” which quotes me as follows:

“Justice O’Connor has been the key vote in everything from campaign finance to the meaning of the Voting Rights Act to racial gerrymandering to Bush v. Gore,” said Richard Hasen, a Loyola Law School professor specializing in elections.

Today’s Washington Post also discusses Judge Alito’s vote in a case challenging an at large districting system.
