Even though 2013 wasn't a big year for elections, it was a big year for elections policy: The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. It also addressed proof of citizenship requirements for voters—a topic that was re-addressed by Arizona and Kansas. New and stricter voter ID laws were enacted, and then challenged in courts. The phrase "internet voting" was heard more than ever, although few U.S. citizens truly vote that way. And polling place management is on everyone's agenda to avoid long lines. But what about 2014? Hear what election experts predict.
