The purpose of this course is to give students a basic understanding of some of the major themes in the legal regulation of elections and politics. The course will primarily cover issues relating to voter access to the polls (for instance restrictive voting laws) and vote dilution (through racial and partisan gerrymandering). Of note, this version of the course does not cover campaign finance.
