Today we will be highlighting some of our newer print resources on the dynamic field of law that has arisen from election day conflicts and issues. Often, legal conflicts concerning the parameters of election contests arise even before a vote is cast. The right to vote, and what that means and entails, is an important topic that is debated frequently in this legal field. We have many resources in our collection, in print and digital, that address this topic.
Here are two of our newer secondary sources on this burgeoning area of law:
