Blogging will be light through New Years–-regular ELB News and Commentary mailings for Election Law listserv members will resume on January 6.
Once again it has been a busy year for the Election Law Blog and 2015 promises some big news in the area of voting rights, campaign finance, filibuster reform/political polarization and other topics. More posts from ELB regular commentators are on tap as well.
I wish all my readers a safe, healthy and happy 2015.
