Display - Election Law and the Right to Vote

On Tuesday, November 6th, United States citizens will go to the polls to vote in the general presidental election, as well as in Congressional and state races. At the McKusick Law Library, the Election Law and the Right to Vote display includes books on voter fraud, election reform and suffrage. For example, "Balancing Access and Integrity: The Report of the Century Foundation Working Group on State Implementation of Election Reform," identifies specific ways in which both the federal government and state governments could make improvements to electoral systems within the framework of the federal Help American Vote Act of 2002. "The Trial of Susan B. Anthony," compiled by Anthony herself, provides documents of her arrest, trial and sentencing for voting without having a legal right to vote. The display also contains a list of Voter Information and Voter Id Law websites and Election Law Blogs, including Election Law@Moritz and Election Law Blog.
