John worked as Senior Legal Fellow at Demos, a New York base national policy organization, in its Democracy Program. John's work to keep elections clean and free of corporate control has been nationally recognized for years. He was the founder of the National Voting Rights Institute and formerly served as the staff attorney for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Responsive Politics, a leading research authority on the influence of private money in federal elections. He is the co-author, with Jamin Raskin, of articles in the Yale Law & Policy Review and the Columbia Law Review, which set forth the constitutional basis for the Institute's affirmative litigation work. In 1999, in recognition of his ground breaking work with the National Voting Rights Institute, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation awarded John with a prestigious MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. In his current position, John not only directs Voter Action's ongoing legal efforts around the country but will also assist Voter Action in the development of key programs such as their Watch the Vote Program and their state based citizen outreach and research activities. In addition, as new concerns such as meaningful election audits, electronic poll books and privatized voter registration databases present themselves as new barriers to voting, John will be help develop new strategies and oversight solutions for the future.
