Congratulations to Prof. Michael Dimino on the publication of the fourth edition of Voting Rights and Election Law: Cases, Explanatory Notes, and Problems, co-authored with Bradley A. Smith and Michael E. Solimine and published by Carolina Academic Press!

This casebook covers the full scope of election law, from the right to vote to vote tabulation, including gerrymandering, the Voting Rights Act, campaign finance, and election administration. The new edition is freshly updated with key Supreme Court cases on race, redistricting, and the Voting Rights Act.

This latest edition is a great resource for anyone studying or practicing in this important area of the law. Well done, Prof. Dimino!
