“Court documents indicate that Hays was registered to vote in both Mohave County and Coconino County. He used a campaign worker’s address in Kingman along with that of a shooting range, also in Kingman, when he filled out paperwork to run for sheriff. But prosecutors say he was actually living in Flagstaff and working for the Arizona Department of Corrections in Winslow.” Link.

Pennsylvania Voter ID Back in Commonwealth Court
AP: Thursday’s status conference is before Judge Robert Simpson, who initially upheld and later temporarily enjoined the law.
The anti-ID crowd, not content with the additional time and easier access granted voters to get free identification cards from PennDOT, wants a fight to the death of voter ID.

NAACP “Help” Violates Ohio Election Law, Disenfranchises Voters
Ms. Moore said she delivered 19 absentee voter ballots from inmates at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio to the Lucas County Board of Elections, but said she did not know it was illegal. State law prohibits anyone but the voter or a relative from hand-delivering an absentee ballot. As one member of the elections board noted, “ironically, it was Ms. Moore who disenfranchised the CCNO voters.” Ohio wasn’t the only place where NAACP “help” violated state election laws. In Harris County, Texas, three NAACP members stayed inside an Early Voting poll location for several hours, selecting people out of line to vote ahead of others, an illegal activity they openly acknowledge. Houston NAACP Chapter President Rev. Reginald Liley claimed they “just wanted to help and did not, to his knowledge, break any rules,” but Harris County’s chief elections official confirmed their actions were “improper and illegal.” “Ignorance of the law excuses no man; not that all men know the law, but because it is an excuse every man will plead, and no man can tell how to confute him.” -John Selden
As the Ohio NAACP coordinator for northwest Ohio and past president of the Toledo chapter of the NAACP, perhaps WilliAnn Moore should have known better. The Toledo Blade reports:

SOS Gessler Stops in the Springs
Colorado Springs Gazette. “Records were wrong, and it was embarrassing for us,” Macomber told Gessler. “We lose credibility when we walk up to a door and say, ‘Hi, Mrs. Smith,’ and it’s Mrs. Jones.” Gessler agreed that Colorado’s voter rolls are “sloppy,” but said the problem is that the only way voters are removed from the rolls is if his office gets returned mail from the address, or is directly notified that a person has moved.”
“Division leader Ann Macomber, 65, said that roughly a third of the addresses and names in the voter registration lists she got were incorrect.
And Mike Maday, a Democrat, took issue with any effort of the SOS to meet with people interested in election integrity and fixing the voter rolls, not a good place for Democrats to be.

National Review: DOJ “Misbehavior” Called Out in NH Bailout
National Review link:
“The Center for Individual Rights filed a motion to intervene on Wednesday on behalf of a resident of the state who objects to the bailout. The motion reminds the court that it cannot grant New Hampshire’s request because the state “admits on the face of the complaint that it does not satisfy the statutory criteria for a bailout.” The motion also brings to the attention of the court the language cited in the NRO article from the Shelby County case, where the D.C. Circuit found Shelby County ineligible for a bailout due to the county’s failure to submit one voting change, much less the numerous unsubmitted voting changes of New Hampshire.
This motion to intervene by a New Hampshire resident and voter, if it is granted, will make it much more difficult for the court to ignore New Hampshire’s noncompliance and the Justice Department’s misbehavior in the case. “
