@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 what constitutes a "burden"? (And how does definition not produce a ratchet?)
My claim is:when a state burdens voters, it shd have legitimate, provable reason for doing so http://harvardlawreview.org/2014/01/race-or-party-how-courts-should-think-about-republican-efforts-to-make-it-harder-to-vote-in-north-carolina-and-elsewhere/ …https://twitter.com/MichaelMcGough3/status/621368343677808640 …

@jadler1969@MichaelMcGough3 I discuss that in the piece. -
@rickhasen@MichaelMcGough3 your description in piece certainly seems to operate like ratchet 1/2 -
@jadler1969@MichaelMcGough3 goes beyond ratchet e.g. to target ny, pa failure to provide any early voting opportunities -
@rickhasen@MichaelMcGough3 but early voting can reduce turnout, so how is lack of it a meaningful "burden"? -
@jadler1969@MichaelMcGough3 I think the better reading of the literature is that it generally does not reduce turnout (1) -
@jadler1969@MichaelMcGough3 the relationships are complex, as Barry Burden testified today in NC. (2)
