Thank you.
My name is Jason Mycoff. I am an associate professor of political science at the University of Delaware. The first thing I'd like to do is thank the committee for inviting me to testify. I'm very honoured, and I hope that I can answer any questions you might have about the theory and practice of election law.
As a very brief note on my background, I study the U.S. Congress, and my interest in election law goes back to my days of writing a dissertation at Ohio State University, where I studied how incumbent members of Congress build war chests for their campaigns. I also have a series of projects that I've been working on with my colleagues Michael Wagner and David Wilson at the University of Delaware, where we've been studying the effect of voter ID laws on election turnout.
Again, thank you for inviting me to testify. I hope I can answer any questions you might have and be helpful to the committee.
