You never know what an election is going to do.

Looks like Thurmond will be on the ballot.  If so, make that 2-0 for Chris Coates this month on Voting Rights Act litigation against Democrats.

Full story.

The judges were told that the ruling was the first time the high court had weighed in on a state election law on holding primaries when nominees are disqualified.

“This is a case of first impression,” not a change in existing election law, said Thurmond’s attorney H. Christopher Coates.

Thurmond attended the hearing but did not address the panel of judges, who also included U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel. Thurmond did not speak to reporters leaving the hearing.

Apparently, the Union at the link describes the phrase “Vote Early, Vote Often” as the mantra the union likes to live by.

The voter ID amendment accomplishes four things: It requires voters to
show government-issued photo ID to vote; requires the state to provide
ID at no charge; requires all voters to be treated equally, and allows
unprepared voters a second chance to vote with a provisional ballot.

Full story at Breitbart about what I write about in Injustice “as the smokescreen for criminal wrongdoing in American elections.”

“The AFL-CIO and Florida Democratic Party operatives’ attempt to intimidate voters from executing their rights to uphold election integrity could not be more blatant.

This recent threat is not unique, however. The Maryland Branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) recently began efforts to interrupt the removal of dead and duplicate voters that were originally discovered by citizen researchers. On September, 9 progressive groups threatened counties cooperating with True The Vote to maintain voter rolls after studies found evidence of more registered voters than living and eligible in counties.”

Soon to come, fights from Congress and plaintiffs over the SC preclearance memo.  For now, this fight.

The Ohio “Justice and Policy Center” has filed a lawsuit to protect the right to vote of the recently arrested but not yet convicted.  Those not convicted in Ohio still have their right to vote.  Story here.
