This is the archived version of a program presented on March 6, 2013. 

The last few months have seen a flurry of high profile activity in the area of elections law: from administrative irregularities and voter registration in the Supreme Court’s decision in Opitz v. Wrzesnewskyj, to conflict of interest regulation in Magder v Ford, to allegations of unlawful practices and voter suppression in the 'Robocalls cases'.  

View a discussion on what role the courts play in the regulation of elections and elected officials:
• When is a deferential approach reasonable?
• Is the goal of election legislation enfranchisement or preventing disenfranchisement?
• Why are some irregularities tolerable while others are not?
