Richard L. Hasen is Professor of Law and Political Science at UCLA School of Law and Director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project. An internationally recognized election law expert, he researches voting rights, campaign finance, legislation, and disinformation's impact on democratic processes.
Research analyzes judicial decision-making in election cases, campaign finance deregulation, voting access barriers, and legal remedies against electoral subversion. Recent work emphasizes disinformation's corrosive effects on democracy and proposes regulatory interventions.
Publications dominate election law scholarship with recent books including 'Cheap Speech' (2022) on disinformation and 'Election Meltdown' (2020) on electoral integrity. Articles demonstrate increasing focus on democratic resilience, platform governance, and constitutional safeguards against election subversion.
