Election Law Blog
U.S. left-of-center (liberal academic)
The Election Law Blog is a solo academic blog run by UCLA law professor Rick Hasen, who is a nationally recognized expert on voting rights, campaign finance, and election administration. Hasen's perspective consistently favors broad voter access, stricter campaign finance regulation, and skepticism of measures he views as partisan manipulation of electoral rules. Since the start of the Trump second term in January 2025, his coverage has been broadly critical, framing the administration's election-related actions as attempts to tilt future elections and undermine democratic norms.
