Weekly Zoom Call at Noon
Citizen Standing to Enforce Election Laws, Appeal Administrative Decisions Under HAVA; Protect Laws from Partisan Legal Apparatus; Accountability & Penalties for Violations
Election laws are only as strong as their enforcement mechanisms and the willingness of citizens and officials to apply them even when it is politically inconvenient. We will discuss ways to give individual citizens targeted standing to enforce election statutes and appeal certain administrative decisions, and to make the election code self‑executing with clear civil and criminal penalties for officials who ignore or violate the law. We must keep enforcement from being monopolized by partisan actors, ensure courts can hear concrete election‑law disputes, and create real consequences for noncompliance.
