  • The Voting Rights Act and Mississippi: 1965–2006
    THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND MISSISSIPPI: 1965–2006 ROBERT MCDUFF* INTRODUCTION Mississippi is the poorest state in the union. Its population is 36% black, the highest of any of the fifty states.1 Resistance to the civil rights movement was as bitter and violent there as anywhere. State and local of- ficials frequently erected obstacles to prevent black people from voting, and those obstacles were a centerpiece of the evidence presented to Con- gress to support passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.2 After the Act was passed, Mississippi’s government worked hard to undermine it. In its 1966 session, the state legislature changed a number of the voting laws to limit the influence of the newly enfranchised black voters, and Mississippi officials refused to submit those changes for preclearance as required by Section 5 of the Act.3 Black citizens filed a court challenge to several of those provisions, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed 1969 de- cision in Allen v. State Board of Elections, which held that the state could not implement the provisions, unless they were approved under Section 5.4 Dramatic changes have occurred since then. Mississippi has the high- est number of black elected officials in the country. One of its four mem- bers in the U.S. House of Representatives is black. Twenty-seven percent of the members of the state legislature are black. Many of the local gov- ernmental bodies are integrated, and 31% of the members of the county governing boards, known as boards of supervisors, are black.5 * Civil rights and voting rights lawyer in Mississippi.

  • California Indian Tribes Political Contributions Since 2000
    $212 Million in Tribal Political Spending Shapes Policy Outcomes in California Since 1998, tribes have spent more $100,000,000 than $212 million $90,000,000 on politics in $80,000,000 California.1 $70,000,000 $60,000,000 Limiting $50,000,000 competition and $40,000,000 protecting industry $30,000,000 privileges are the $20,000,000 top focus of tribal $10,000,000 spending. Since $0 gaining a 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 monopoly on lucrative Las Vegas-style Figure 1 Total Tribal Spending in CA casinos in the late 1990s, Indian tribes have quickly become the top-ranked political spenders in California.2 While Congress mulls lobbying reforms following an estimated $26 million in total federal political expenditures by tribes, there is no sign that tribal political spending in California will abate. Tribes spent more than $56 million in 1998 and again more than $86 million in 2004 on ballot propositions seeking to persuade voters to protect and expand their gaming monopoly. Starting with the gubernatorial recall in 2003 and continuing through bruising statewide ballot propositions in 2004, tribal political spending mushroomed to $107 million in the two year period. During the calendar year that included the recall, tribes spent $19 million directly on the recall and on elected officials. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, $8 million of that total went to Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who lost to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Three quarters of all tribal political contributions historically occur in the last half of the year. In addition to costly ballot fights, California Tribes gave more than $23 million directly to state elected officials, who play a critical role in limiting tribes’ competition by controlling the ratification of new gaming compacts and shaping industry policy.

  • The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats by Jennifer M
    GOVERNORS The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle Only three governors were elected in 2015. Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi are the only states that hold their gubernatorial elections during the year prior to the presidential election. This means that these three states can be early indicators of any voter unrest that might unleash itself more broadly in the next year’s congressional and presidential elections, and we saw some of this in the two races where candidates were vying for open seats. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) was elected to a second term, running in a state that strongly favored his political party. Both Kentucky and Louisiana have elected Democrats and Republicans to the governorship in recent years, and each race was seen as up for grabs by many political pundits. In the end, each election resulted in the governorship turning over to the other political party. Though Tea Party sentiments played a signifi- he lost badly to McConnell, he had name recog- cant role in the primary elections in Kentucky and nition when he entered the gubernatorial race as Louisiana, none of the general elections reflected an anti-establishment candidate who ran an out- the vigor that the Tea Party displayed in the 2014 sider’s campaign against two Republicans who had gubernatorial elections. With only two open races held elected office. Bevin funded the vast majority and one safe incumbent on the ballot, the 2015 of his primary spending himself, contributing more elections were generally not characterized as a than $2.4 million to his own campaign.

    Alabama: Commandments, Amendments, and Defendants Patrick R. Cotter Alabama’s 2004 election was a quiet affair. Signs that a presidential campaign was occurring—candidate visits, partisan rallies, hard-hitting tele- vision commercials, or get-out-the-vote efforts—were largely missing from the state. The outcome of Alabama’s U.S. Senate race was a forgone conclu- sion from the beginning of the year. All of the state’s congressmen were easily reelected. Contests for the few state offices up for election in 2004 were generally both invisible and uncompetitive. The only part of the ballot that generated any interest—and even here it was limited—involved a pro- posed amendment to Alabama’s already long state constitution. Alabama’s 2004 election was also a clear Republican victory. Republi- cans George W. Bush and Richard Shelby easily carried the state in the presidential and U.S. Senate elections. The GOP kept it 5-to-2 advantage in Congressional seats. Republicans swept all the contested positions on the state Supreme Court. Alabama’s 2004 election campaign was not the first time the state had experienced a quiet presidential campaign. Nor was it the first in which Republicans did quite well. Both the 1988 and 2000 campaigns were also low-key affairs. Both were also campaigns that the GOP clearly won. These earlier low-key, Republican-winning, presidential campaigns did not significantly alter the state’s partisan politics. Rather, the close partisan balance that has characterized the state since the 1980s continued beyond these elections.
