The Election Law Journal, the nation’s only peer-reviewed journal focusing on election law, has published an article that uses empirical data to show that restrictive ballot access laws are not needed to prevent crowded ballots. The Election Law Journal does not normally provide any means for non-subscribers to read its articles on-line. However, an exception has been made for the current issue. This particular article can be seen on-line.
