Rick Hasen, election law expert

The campaign season is heating up, and not all the fire comes from the candidates.Issues of money in politics sit before the Supreme Court. Debate over Voter ID laws and continued fallout from last summer’s decision that reversed key parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. And redistricting continues to be a state by state, county by county battle.The question for each party has become not only who will win the election – but who can vote and how much will it cost? Is either party playing fair?Few follow the issues of money, voting, elections and the law more closely than Rick Hasen, Chancellor’s Professor of Law and political science at the University of California at Irvine. He is also author of "The Voting Wars: From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown" and runs the Election Law Blog at electionlawblog.org.
