Dispatches From Wang





The latest from the ever-wacky Tova Wang.   This one appears in the soon-to-be-shut-down  American Prospect Magazine.  Wang, you may recall if you read Injustice, is the soothsayer that announced there was no voter fraud in the 2010 November election within 48 hours of the polls closing.  Of course she was later proven spectacularly wrong.

The ominous “black cloud” that is photo ID:

“Americans who care about the right to vote are faced with an ugly reality as the 2012 elections come into view: no matter how many courts rule that voter identification laws will disenfranchise eligible citizens [ELC Note: that would be precisely zero court judgments] and no matter how many states U.S. Department of Justice analysts determine—using data supplied by the states themselves—that strict voter ID laws discriminate against people of color, voter identification laws will be in place in a number of states throughout the country in November.”
