For tomorrow's 2301 dual credit....

According to the syllabus, you've studied elections this week. After wrapping up a few items related to federalism I want to discuss electoral matter that are in the news.

These are up for grabs:

- The Greek referendum - should we have national referendum elections?
- The proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution.
- The role the economy plays in electoral decisions.
- Should we elect judges? How about school board members?
- The tightening of election laws - is voting a right?
- OWS - direct democracy?

These are just a few thoughts, expect more.
