Speaking In Charlotte NC January 22 on Voter ID and Election Litigation

I’ll be speaking at the Charlotte Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society a week from today, on January 22 at noon.  The event is open to the public and will cover voter ID, the Holder Justice Department’s litigation against North Carolina and much more.  I will have a couple of copies of Injustice to sign.  Here is the link to the event.

Fox News Tuesday on Debo Adegbile

“Questions arise over Obama’s pick for Justice post“

“At the same time, Ed Whelan, President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, contends there are questions about Adegbile’s qualifications. There were reports that President Obama intended to nominate him to serve as a judge on the D.C. Circuit back in 2011, and that Adegbile was submitted to the American Bar Association (ABA) for a rating.  Whelan says Adegbile didn’t make it past the ABA’s qualification screening.


Skeptics are also publicly speculating about whether Adegbile is the best fit to head up a department that has been the subject of much recent criticism.  Last year the Justice Department’s Inspector General released a report blasting the Civil Rights Division, citing inappropriateconduct, harassment of conservatives in the division, and the appearance of partisanship and racial politics.


Many wonder why the White House would tap such a controversial nominee when the Division is in need of a public relations boost.”

“Judge: Voting case against blogger, Board of Elections can move forward”

Out of Ohio, an appellate court has rejected requests to dismiss a complaint against the Hamilton County Board of Elections for allegedly misapplying Ohio election law.  A three-judge panel in the First District Court of Appeals rejected the requests Friday, and set a hearing date for July.

The motions to dismiss were filed by the Board of Elections and local blogger Randy Simes.

“New voting rights in Colorado”


Not just bad ideas, they’re the law.


 


Progressives wrote Colorado’s “unmanageable” new voting rules, but Jon Caldara of the center-right Independence Institute reminds voters “they are now the rules of elections in Colorado. They are your new voting rights, so you had better use them. Others certainly will.”


 


What are these new Colorado voting rights?


 


Under the new law, our ballots are flung through the mail like grocery-store coupons, whether you want them delivered to you that way or not… ballots in the last election were readily found in trash cans and apartment mail rooms, just ready to be harvested.


 


But even more disturbing, this new law legalizes moving voters around like chess pieces on Election Day to the district where their vote is most needed. Now a voter who merely “intends” to make a different district his home can vote in that district.


 


And get this: Any enforcement of “voter fraud,” even if it could be caught, happens after the ballots are all counted and recorded. Under this same-day voter registration law, the vagabond voter is handed a ballot when and where he registers. His ballot goes into the ballot box and there’s no yanking it back out.


 


As the Democrat-controlled Assembly is not likely to repeal the lax new election laws it passed last year, Caldara says Colorado voters “all have the responsibility to learn about our new voter rights and exercise them fully.”
