No Election Law Decision from U.S. Supreme Court

On June 9, the U.S. Supreme Court released three full opinions, but it did not release the only pending election law decision, Davis v Federal Election Commission, no. 07-320. The Court will release that decision on June 12, June 16, June 23, or June 30. The issue is the part of the McCain-Feingold law that relaxes contribution limits to federal candidates who face an opponent who donates more than $650,000 to his or her own campaign.

Another election law case has been accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court, a redistricting case from North Carolina. However, that case will not even be argued until October 14, 2008. It is Bartlett v Strickland, 07-689.
