“State Constitutions: The Next Frontier in Voting Rights Protection”
Professor Josh Douglass has been emerging as the strongest advocate for state constitutions as a source of voting rights. He's right, and if more people paid attention it could change the election law industry. Recently in John Doe v Weedman, a Missouri case about disclaimers, The plaintiff attempted to file an amended complaint to add a state constitutional claim, after I pointed out controlling state authority from 1908. Then they dismissed the case. I don't know if they plan to refile it or what exactly; none of the lawyers have returned my emails.
