Edward B. Foley, Robert M. Duncan/Jones Day Designated Professor of Law at Moritz, is the Director of Election Law @ Moritz.. One of the nation’s preeminent experts on election law, Professor Foley teaches and writes in all areas of this field, including campaign finance regulation. His current work focuses on the less-developed law of voting administration: provisional voting, registration rules and procedures, HAVA, recounts and judicially disputed elections.

He has written a major article on “The Future of Bush v. Gore?,” (68 Ohio St. L. J. 925) as well as follow-up, “Refining the Bush v. Gore Taxonomy” (68 Ohio St. L. J. 1035), both part of symposium sponsored by EL@M and the Ohio State Law Journal. His examination of the future significance of that famous precedent has led him to complete for the Election Law Journal an analysis of the Indiana voter identification case in the Supreme Court.

His earlier article, The Analysis and Mitigation of Election Errors: Theory, Practice, Policy (18 Stan. Law & Policy Review 350) sets the stage for a long-term study of post-voting disputes.

His commentary on election law can be found at Free & Fair.
