McCrory brought the crowd to its feet several times when he promised he
would sign bills passed by the Republican legislature that Perdue had
vetoed: a voter ID bill; and a measure making the state a party to a
legal challenge to the national health care law.  Article here.

Depending on timing, the next Governor may not need to sign the voter ID bill as the North Carolina legislature may soon be able to override the veto itself with an additional vote coming from a legislator that has been deployed overseas and unable to vote.  This story has more of the details:

One of the most controversial vetoes awaiting
consideration is a bill requiring voters to show identification at the
polls. Republicans say it’s needed to prevent fraud, but Democrats say
it will disenfranchise voters. Lewis, the elections committee chairman,
said he doesn’t have the three-fifths majority needed for an override
this week.

The count is expected to change when
Republican state Rep. Ric Killian of Charlotte returns from his Army
reserve duties in Afghanistan in March or April. With Killian’s vote,
Republicans can override the vetoes of the voter ID bill and legislation
that promotes shale-gas drilling through a process known as fracking,
said House GOP leader Paul “Skip” Stam.

State House Speaker Andy Tobin said he’s eying a June special election as his chance to put alternative redistricting maps before voters.  The June 12 election to select a replacement for U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is the next available election date, now that Tobin’s plans for a May 15 special election have evaporated.

Going to jail for something that doesn’t exist is a real bummer.  full story here.

 American Thinker:

“Violations of the voting process depicted in Adams’ book are manifold and include incompetence, fraud, partisanship, and intimidation or thuggery. These rampant and pervasive problems warrant serious interventions to curb abuses of a right Americans hold sacrosanct. Fortunately, citizens’ groups are becoming more involved in elections and have recognized the need to do more to protect the rights of the electorate under the law.”

Well thanks for borrowing the title of my book.  New York Congresswoman Buerkle has this opinion piece about Eric Holder at the actions of the DOJ on his watch:  Department of Injustice

” . . . On Thursday, as I questioned Holder about Operation Fast and Furious. I pushed for him to explain why neither he nor any of his colleagues in Washington had been held accountable for the debacle that was Operation Fast and Furious. He is responsible for leading an agency that is supposed to find justice wherever it may be.

Holder not only denied culpability, he had the nerve to ask for credit for his actions as Attorney General. Exactly what credit, might we ask, does Mr. Holder deserve? Under his watch, the American public has witnessed the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, redistricting controversy, immigration and voter identification challenges, and the threat of bringing terrorists into our country. All of these do nothing but erode the American public’s trust in Mr. Holder’s ability to serve in the Administration. . . . “
