A few thoughts about what @zalbert.bsky.social and I learned about small donors in US elections, and why more small donor participation isn’t necessarily the democratic cure many hoped it would be. Insights from our book, Small Donors in U.S. Politics: Myth and Reality.

My new piece at @nyulaw.bsky.social @democracyproject.bsky.social, "Exorcising Justice Alito's Voter Fraud Boogeyman," begins:
Emotions can cause even the smartest among us to lose perspective, and I am afraid that the usually sharp Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has let his apparent panic over phantom voter fraud cloud his judgment in some of the Court’s most recent election cases. As the Court has navigated such cases, including a recent last-minute emergency election case, the good news is that cooler heads have prevailed in rejecting Justice Alito’s analyses as contrary to both the evidence and appellate review standards. Should the Supreme Court face post-election litigation in which claims of voter fraud again play a role, Justices should again respond to Justice Alito’s boogeyman the way parents respond to a child irrationally afraid of the monster under the bed: with calmness, compassion, demonstrable evidence, and a firm grasp on reality.
