“Holder Defends Foreigners Voting in Florida Elections”

PJ Media Rule of Law: “Holder is ultimately defending foreigners voting in American elections. Try that position on for size amongst the general public, and Obama’s campaign strategists aren’t going to like the outcome. . . . After the fight between Florida and Eric Holder sorts out, it will be time to prosecute the foreigners who registered and voted in Florida elections. It is a felony under both Florida and federal law for a foreigner to register and vote. The ones who did should go to jail. It is pretty clear that only Florida has any interest in charging these illegal registrants.”

Black conservatives scheduled to meet with United Nations and rebut NAACP on Photo ID

The Project 21 black leadership network delegation, Horace Cooper, Deroy Murdock, and Council Nedd II, are scheduled to meet with Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights
Ivan Simonovic and human rights officer Giorgia Passarelli at United
Nations headquarters in New York City on June 13 at 3:00 PM eastern.
The meeting comes almost three months to the day after NAACP activists
met with OHCHR staff in Geneva, Switzerland to claim that voter protection laws unfairly target minorities.


Project 21 members plan to discuss the potential disfranchisement of
Americans of all ethnicities and backgrounds if ballot integrity is not
safeguarded — presenting U.N. officials with examples of illegal voting
behavior that was documented and oftentimes prosecuted. Cooper, Murdock
and Nedd will note that additional rights that Americans hold dear will
be at risk without the ability to cast a ballot without fear of vote
fraud.

More Fallout Over DOJ Election Policies

The editors at National Review: “Since taking office, Holder has stacked the Justice Department with politically motivated lawyers and enforced civil-rights laws in a racially biased fashion, for example dropping a solid voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panthers. He has asked a prosecutor to investigate CIA interrogators for alleged crimes that had already been investigated. He has tried to move Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New York for a civilian trial. He has claimed voter-ID laws are tantamount to Jim Crow. The list goes on.”
