In fact, the front page of the "newspaper of record" frequently carries stories that describe campaign finance scandals.' The issue of campaign finance reform has occupied an increas- ingly dominant place in American politics. Campaign finance re- form legislation has languished at the federal level while states and cities have enacted various laws intended to curtail the pernicious effects of large political contributions and, in some jurisdictions, to alleviate the demand for these contributions by providing public funds to candidates. Nationwide, for example, more than thirty ju- risdictions now have some program for providing public funds for political campaigns.2 These field experiments in campaign finance reform are invaluable sources of information and experience for reformers and legislators who grapple with the complex issues of electoral reform. This information and experience, however, has been largely ig- nored by those who have discussed campaign finance reform at the federal level. Indeed, numerous well-intentioned proposals to change the system, ranging from modest attempts to curtail the use and flow of "soft money," to more far-reaching plans to require one hundred percent public funding of campaigns, have often lacked reference to the reform programs in the United States that have enjoyed records of genuine success in the effort to control the role of money in politics. Accordingly, this issue of the Fordham Urban Law Journal presents the proceedings of a national conference on campaign fi- nance reform held on November 9, 1998, and jointly sponsored by the New York City Campaign Finance Board (the "Board") and 1.

Entitled From the Ground Up: Local Lessons for National Reform, the conference brought together practitioners of the field, including a diverse group of journalists, elected officials and local and national government administrators, to discuss what lessons could be learned from nearly twenty-five years of local campaign reform efforts. It attracted an audience from around the country and was rebroadcast several times on C-SPAN. This conference and the resulting materials, such as this publication, represent an effort to bring knowledge gained from local experiments to the at- tention of those involved in reform at the federal level. The New York City Campaign Finance Program (the "Pro- gram") is itself one such experiment. In 1988, then-Mayor Edward I. Koch and City Council Majority Leader (and current Speaker) Peter F. Vallone enacted New York City's first-ever program of public financing. This comprehensive Program, known as the New York City Campaign Finance Act, 3 regulates campaigns for candi- dates for the offices of Mayor, Public

    Welcome to the 2003 City Council Primary Election Voter Guide As you know, 2003 is a major election year in New York City. Every 10 years, City Council districts change based on the most recent census. This year, City Council district lines have been redrawn, and all 51 Council seats are up for election. You will make important decisions shaping the future of our City and its leadership by voting in the primary and general elections this fall. This Voter Guide is designed to help you compare candidates as you prepare to vote in the September 9 primary election. A Voter Guide for the November 4 general election will be mailed to you in late October. The Voter Guide is a nonpartisan, plain-language handbook published by the New York City Campaign Finance Board (the “CFB”), an independent City agency, to give you information about City elections. Under the City Charter, the Guide is printed in English and Spanish, and, consistent with Federal voting laws, it is also distributed in Chinese and Korean in some districts. It contains statements and photos submitted by City Council candidates, information on voting and voters’ rights, and a map to help you determine your City Council district. The CFB administers the New York City Campaign Finance Program. The Program reduces the influence of private money on City campaigns, offers qualified candidates a fair chance to run for office by providing public matching funds for small contributions, and makes available detailed information on candidates’ campaign finances. To learn more about the Program and the CFB, see “NYC’s Campaign Finance Program” on page 12, or visit our Web site, www.nyccfb.info.

  • Ballot Bedlam
    ISSACHAROFF IN PRINTER FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 3/24/2015 12:14 PM BALLOT BEDLAM SAMUEL ISSACHAROFF† ABSTRACT In both law and public scrutiny, renewed attention is being given to the simple act of casting a ballot. At a time when the formal act of voting has been relaxed, and more than a third of Americans cast their ballots in a manner other than voting at the polls on Election Day, there is a decided pushback. In some sense this is hardly novel; questions of ballot integrity and ballot access have been recurring issues in the United States from Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Era. In both of these previous eras, enfranchisement and disenfranchisement had a partisan edge, but were understood to be battles over the black franchise—and properly so. Whether that remains the case is the subject of this Article. The inquiry begins with the partisan implications of turnout and focuses primarily on the partisan dimension of new efforts at ballot restriction. This Article contends that although issues of the franchise correlate with race, as does the partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans, the new battles over ballot access do not readily lend themselves to a narrative that focuses primarily on racial exclusion. Rather, they point to a deep vulnerability of American democracy in entrusting election administration and election eligibility to local partisan control.
