Attacks on the Voting Rights Act have meant falling Latino representation in local office | LSE United States Politics and Policy

Although the book will not be out until the summer, I just got the cover for it, and I am excited to share it with the world (or the five or so kind folks who engage with this post). I look forward to sharing more about my book “Information Brokers” with @uchicagopress.bsky.social in the new year.
Book Cover for forthcoming book, Information Brokers.

New from Michael Miller and me at @thejop.bsky.social: Evidence that, in most areas that were affected by the decision, the Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act in 2013 (Shelby County v Holder) increased the racial turnout gap. A thread... www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

This looks absolutely fantastic! The history of the Voting Rights Act - and all the many ways in which the Roberts Court has been assaulting it. @kevintmorris.bsky.social is doing brilliant, essential work - and this book will be mandatory reading the minute it is out. Pre-order this now.

Successfully defended my dissertation yesterday! Keep a look out for one of the chapters on Shelby v. Holder in JREP. Now it’s time to lock in and find housing near Appalachian State University 🤙🏻

President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 against Tren de Aragua raises a bunch of messy (but really important) legal questions. Via "One First" (and cross-posted at @justsecurity.org), I take a shot at asking and answering five of them: www.stevevladeck.com/p/132-five-q...

132. Five Questions About Trump's Alien Enemy Act Proclamation
A quick take on some of the questions raised by President Trump's ... dubious invocation of a 1798 statute as a basis for arresting, detaining, and removing non-citizens with ties to Tren de Aragua.
