Raskin, Jamin B. "Neither the red states nor the blue states but the United States: the national popular vote and American political democracy." Election Law Journal 7.3 (2008): 188+. General OneFile. www.galegroup.com.
Jamin Raskin teaches Constitutional Law, First Amendment, the Constitution and Public Education, and Legislation. He has written dozens of law review articles and essays and several influential books. In September 2006, he won in the Democratic Primary for State Senate from District 20 in Maryland (Silver Spring and Takoma Park), beating a 32-year incumbent, and went on to win 99% of the vote in the November General Election. Judicial Proceedings Committee, the Joint Committee on Legislative Ethics, the Joint Committee on the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Coast, and the Joint Committee on State-Federal Relations. Raskin’s article is an advocacy for a national popular vote, this helped me with the opposing views.
