Lawlessness at the Justice Department

So says the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia:

“The DOJ has overreached its Voting Rights Act authority in rejecting South Carolina and Texas. This president and his administration are the biggest law breakers to run the federal government in our lifetimes,’’ he said. “And they are trampling the state and suffocating economic opportunities the way they are functioning. At least you need to play by the rules. The rules being the law.’’

Armed citizens fight government sanctioned voter fraud

A reader emailed me this video about the Battle of Athens.

The United States Department of Justice had received complaints about voter fraud for years, but did nothing.  Returning soldiers were disgusted at what they saw happening with illegal voting.  It is a story of armed citizens and voter fraud and corruption.  It is a reminder of how close we are in history and time to political violence, unfortunately.  Here are some text links to the story, here and here.

Thanks DM for the interesting historical tip.  I’ll leave it for others to dig up the most accurate historic details.  Consider this a trailer.

Voter ID Supporters Write the Script: NAACP to UN Switzerland Meeting

You can’t make this stuff up. 

If Voter ID supporters could write the script, they would have NAACP officials flying to Geneva, Switzerland (First class? Likely) to ask the United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate voter ID.  Naturally, the “human rights” council is comprised of some of the world’s leading thug regimes.  One of the members of the council doesn’t even allow women to vote! To top off the absurd script, the head of the NAACP delegation, Hillary Shelton, would compare voter ID to the evil laws that black Americans faced in 1947.  The historical comparison is important to demonstrate a lack of proportion in the NAACP, one that doesn’t match America’s deep revulsion at Jim Crow to what happens when you buy a beer. 

Alas, this is no script.  This is no absurd plot designed to make the NAACP and other Voter ID opponents look like crackpots.  Instead, it is a real story. 

Shame on the NAACP for wasting donor dollars in this nonsensical trip.  They should have used the money to drive people to get free photo identification cards or pay for these elusive “supporting documents.”  One suspects the costs of Shelton’s airfare (and hotel, and food, and that of any supporting staff) would have paid for a bunch of rides and those elusive “supporting documents.”

Either the NAACP is totally out of touch, or is secretly working with Voter ID supporters to generate laugh lines.  I’ll go with the first option.

“Voter ID becomes Law in Pennsylvania”

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett signed the act into law, saying it set a “simple and clear standard to protect the integrity of our elections.” “I am signing this bill because it protects a sacred principle, one shared by every citizen of this nation,” the Republican governor said. “That principle is one person, one vote.”


Opponents, who say the measure seeks to suppress voter turnout, vowed to challenge it in court.

How Much did NAACP Spend on Switzerland Jaunt?

The new media is going to find out.  How much did airfare for Hillary Shelton and any aides cost?  Hotels in Geneva aren’t cheap either. 

How many trips to get free ID did the NAACP burn up on this trip?  How many of those seemingly unobtainable supporting documents and expensive birth certificates could a trip to Geneva have paid for? 

Stay tuned.
