Greetings. A big day of Live Chats at TPMPrime. I want to flag them for everyone in advance.
At noon EST, Professor Rick Hasen will join us. He is a nationally-recognized expert in election law and campaign finance regulation, and co-authored a leading casebook on election law. For our purposes, he’s the leading expert as far as I’m concerned on vote fraud and voter suppression.
At 1pm EST, Congressman Barney Frank will host a live chat.
And then at 2pm EST, our very own Benjy Sarlin will host a chat. Benjy is on of our two lead 2012 campaign reporters.
