This constitutional law course concerns voting rights and elections, topics not covered in upper-level classes on the Fourteenth Amendment and First Amendment. We will address a variety of topics related to the proper legal functioning of our democratic system, including the law of voter participation, reapportionment and redistricting, rights of political parties, campaign finance, racial discrimination and the Voting Rights Act, racial redistricting, and direct democracy. Due to overlap in content students may not enroll in both the Election Law and the Law of Democracy course. (3 Credits)
