Caltech/MIT Conference on Registration & Identification
I'm in Cambridge today for a conference on voter registration and identification hosted by the Caltech/MIT Voting Project. The agenda may be found here. As I mentioned in this weekly comment voter registration and voter ID are turning out to be major issues this election season, with litigation having been filed in several states.
This week's conference includes many of the top election officials, political scientists, and other experts in the field of election administration. I'll be speaking tomorrow about the issues raised in the voter ID litigation in Georgia, Missouri, Indiana, and Arizona, all states that have enacted identification requirements that go beyond what federal law requires.
Caltech's Michael Alvarez is live-blogging from the conference on the Election Updates blog, and has posts here and here on today's proceedings. I'm told that video will be posted on the conference website.
