Proving once again, some people are better at . . . reading signs than others.  The Occupy movement raided CPAC and sought to protest Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.  Instead, they stood in front of the wrong panel, and unrolled a sign, in the wrong room.

National Review:   “Kobach is a very smart lawyer who worked at the Bush Justice Department and was elected secretary of state in 2010. He has raised the ire of liberals because of his support for common-sense election reforms like voter-ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for individuals registering to vote, both of which were passed by the Kansas legislature. . . .  There was only one problem for the protesters — they were in the wrong room (LOL!). Kobach’s panel was going on elsewhere in the hotel and he was not on the panel that David Keene was moderating or the one that was about to start. When Keene told the protesters that, everyone in the room started laughing at them and they sheepishly folded up their banner and left. They apparently never made it to the actual room where Kobach was speaking.

These are the folks who keep telling us that they know how to run things better in our nation. ‘What a bunch of maroons,’ to quote the immortal Bugs Bunny.”

Group opposed to photo ID for voters criticizes business support for issue

Excerpt from @cpac2012: John Fund, a senior editor for the American Spectator said during a
panel discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that an “active vote fraud denier industry” is now up and
running that obstructs meaningful investigations into questionable
electoral practices.. Moreover, President Obama’s Justice
Department equates election law enforcement with disenfranchisement, he
added.

Even so, large majorities “of every demographic group” in American
support photo ID and voter integrity laws, Fund said. He encouraged
audience members to pressure law enforcement officials responsible for
upholding existing laws.

Going to jail for something that doesn’t exist is a real bummer.  full story here.

With an unknown number of counties failing to get the ballots sent overseas, Secretary of State Beth Chapman extends the return deadline by 8 days.  2012 is starting to feel like the debacle of 2010. link.

Attorney General Edwin Meese III spoke on a panel which I moderated at CPAC.  Meese had rough words for the Voting Section’s dismissal of the New Black Panther case, the Kinston objection, and more. Stay tuned for the video, but here is a summary.

PJ Tatler quotes Texas Senator John Cornyn at CPAC:

 “The Justice Department has been led by an arrogant, incompetent, dangerously ideological, and transparently political attorney general,” Cornyn said, accusing Holder of seeing fit to “twist the law” to achieve President Obama’s political ends.

“The case against Eric Holder could start and end with the botched gun-running operation known as ‘Fast and Furious,’” he said.

Cornyn also charged the attorney general with dropping the ball on voter ID, Guantanamo Bay, defense of DOMA, and releasing interrogation techniques.

“Is this the kind of behavior that would instill confidence in the president of the United States?” Cornyn repeatedly asked, answered each time by a crowd shout of “No!”

RNLA tweets from CPAC from the “Voter Fraud Panel” – “Require photo ID, proof of citizenship, and tighten absentee ballot rules are the 3 best ways to curb voter fraud in your state” and “Asking for information such as the last digits of your ssn or driver’s
license number on an absentee ballot is one way to curb vote fraud”
