Description

This course explores the law governing politics and elections in the United States. We will examine a variety of topics, including: the Constitution and its protection of the right to vote, reapportionment, the Voting Rights Act, gerrymandering, the constitutional rights of political parties, campaign finance regulation, and election administration. We will also consider the relationship between these topics and partisanship. A serious interest in Constitutional Law is strongly recommended.
