Professor Daniel Tokaji, a senior fellow at Election Law @ Moritz, was quoted by The Birmingham News in an article about a local county's crusade to end 47 years of federal government oversight of its election returns.

Shelby County is hoping a federal appeals court will agree that the county no longer needs the U.S. Justice Department to approve changes in the ways elections are conducted because the area has progressed from its discriminatory past. It is unclear whether the case would be the vehicle with which justices of the U.S. Supreme Court would review the constitutionality of Section 5.

"I am reasonably confident they're going to take up the question of Section 5 constitutionality within the next few years," Tokaji said. "It could be Shelby County, it could be South Carolina, or some other."

Professor Daniel Tokaji was quoted in The Nation as agreeing with the U.S. Department of Justice’s decision to block a South Carolina law requiring voters to present photo identification. Takaji said, “If the effect is to make it more difficult for minorities to vote than was the case before, then the law presumptively violates the Voting Rights Act.”

Professor Daniel Tokaji, senior fellow at Election Law @ Moritz, was quoted in a Dix News Service article published by The-Daily-Record.com about a new ballot initiative that would make future congressional redistricting nonpartisan.

"The state legislature has left nothing but a big lump of coal in the stockings of all Ohio's citizens," Tokaji said. "And the only one with a gift under their tree this year are a few politicians and the party that is dominant in Ohio at the moment."

Professor Daniel Tokaji, a senior fellow at Election Law @ Moritz, was quoted in a Dayton Daily News article about recent analysis surrounding Ohio's new congressional districts. Findings showed only three of 16 districts would be competitive under a new map signed into law by Gov. John Kasich.

Tokaji, a part of the Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting, called the map “a disgrace to our democracy.” Besides not being competitive, the new districts aren’t compact and don’t respect community boundaries, Tokaji said.

Professor Daniel Tokaji was quoted by The Columbus Dispatch in an article about recent analysis surrounding Ohio's new congressional districts. Findings showed only three of 16 districts would be competitive under a new map signed into law by Gov. John Kasich.

Tokaji, a senior fellow at Election Law @ Moritz, said, “This is the worst example of elected officials serving their own craven partisan interests of anywhere in the country.”

Professor Daniel Tokaji was quoted by the Dayton Daily News in an article about two Ohio counties that are part of scant few "competitive" U.S. House districts under a new map designed by a Republican-controlled board. Montgomery, Greene, and part of Fayette County are part of the 10th District, according to the map. There are only three "competitive" districts based on recent analysis by the Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting, of which Tokaji is part.

He called the map a “disgrace to our democracy” because of political gerrymandering.
