Watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Justice Department, demanding copies of all correspondence between department officials and Ms. Rogers, a former attorney for ACORN. Judicial Watch said it is investigating the extent to which the department and Project Vote “are partnering on a national campaign to use the National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) to register more individuals on public assistance, widely considered a key voting demographic for the Obama 2012 campaign.”

According to Project Vote’s website Ms. Rogers represented Project Vote “at meetings and legislative hearings, preparing a voting rights agenda for submission to the Presidential Transition Team in 2008-2009.”

The Judicial Watch FOIA is seeking also all communications with Project Vote and the attorneys in the Voting Section and Civil Rights Division.  Judicial Watch has displayed the fortitude to litigate in federal court when DOJ documents aren’t forthcoming.  This story promises to be quite a ride.
