Description
Voting Rights and Election Law Cases, Explanatory Notes, and Problems Fourth Edition Michael R. Dimino
ISBN: 9781531034054
Voting Rights and Election Law is a comprehensive yet accessible casebook that guides students through the law governing the political process, from the right to vote to the counting and recounting of ballots. It examines the major doctrines and issues shaping election law, including the one-person, one-vote principle, gerrymandering, the Voting Rights Act, ballot access and design, the free-speech rights of candidates, political parties, and citizens, campaign finance restrictions and disclosure requirements, and election administration.
The book presents election law primarily as a body of legal doctrine rather than as an exercise in political theory. It emphasizes the language and reasoning of leading judicial opinions, supported by clear narrative introductions and explanatory notes. Carefully edited cases allow students to engage directly with the courts’ reasoning, while discussion questions encourage them to examine the empirical assumptions and theoretical foundations underlying judicial decisions, particularly the proper role of courts in regulating the political process.
Frequent problems give students opportunities to apply election law principles to realistic situations, reinforcing the practical importance of the subject and its continuing influence on political outcomes.
The fourth edition updates the material from the previous edition, with particular attention to race and redistricting. It adds Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee and Allen v. Milligan as principal cases and introduces Louisiana v. Callais, helping students understand the Supreme Court’s evolving interpretation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and the tension between the VRA and the Fourteenth Amendment’s prohibition on racial gerrymandering. The edition also expands its treatment of partisan gerrymandering and the independent-state-legislature theory, featuring Moore v. Harper as a principal case.

Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
