Course Description
Election law, as the 2000 presidential election dramatically illustrated, sets the ground rules for the most fundamental process in our democracy; the use of voting to determine who governs or, through an initiative or referendum, to determine substantive law. These issues are especially relevant in Arizona, where voters have approved a number of election-related reforms. This course will review the key constitutional provisions, statutes, and court decisions governing such topics as the expansion of the franchise, presidential selection, redistricting, campaign finance reform, and direct democracy. Weekly lectures may include guest speakers who have participated in federal and state campaigns.
