A sentencing view of election day

The polls just opened today in Ohio, and I will mark the moment by encouraging everyone to go vote.  In addition, I see that Capital Defense Weekly has this effective review of how certain candidates with notable death penalty records might fare today.  Also, below I have assembled some of my recent Election 2006 sentencing commentary:

• Sentencing-related initiatives this election season
• How could and will this election impact federal sentencing policy?
• Crime, sentencing and politics
• A new world of death penalty politics?
• More on the modern politics of the death penalty
• The politics of judges and judging
• The law and policy of felon disenfranchisement
