The Star-Tribune reports: A group of lawmakers tasked with studying and potentially proposing a
bill to require Wyoming voters to show identification at polling places
decided not to pursue the matter Tuesday.  …Committee co-chairwoman Rep. Rosie Berger, R-Sheridan, said there
wouldn’t be enough time to research and craft a bill to address the
issues.

Wyoming legislators, including the legislative leadership of the Wyoming Republican Party, would have you believe they simply did not have the time to research or draft voter ID legislative language. However, the lawmakers certainly had the time to raise the fuels tax by .10 cents a gallon and create a new lottery system, multiple ways to raise revenue and spend citizens money.  With all the new revenue, perhaps the overworked legislators will now be able to hire additional interns to assist with the strenuous research.

Cleta Mitchell has prepared this lengthy memo detailing the abuse of Tea Party and election integrity groups seeking 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.

The latest narrative from the speech regulators is that these groups didn’t deserve status because they were political.  Of course that crowd considers folks who disagree with them to be political because of the disagreement.  They are always a-political and mainstream.  So anyone who seeks to help the election process with whom they disagree must be political.  Pay attention to that emerging fringe narrative – that the Tea Party deserved it.  Bryan Preston has more about the narrative here: JournoList’s IRS Angle Begins to Gel.


So far the Praetorian Guard in the media has not adopted the narrative of the speech regulators who are busy defending the IRS shakedown of conservatives.  This is one more example where the academics are entirely out of touch with the body politic.  Consider a group called “Democracy 21.”  Instead of getting marching orders from the White House like Journolist does, Democracy 21 listens to Geore Soros.  They also spend his money.

Their response to the Tea Party harassment?  It was a good thing and there should be more of it.

Newsmax reports: The woman who ran the IRS tax-exemption office — which now is accused of improperly targeting conservative groups — presided over a lengthy investigation of the Christian Coalition when she headed the enforcement office at the Federal Election Commission.  According to The Weekly Standard, some of the same techniques and procedures used by Lois Lerner in the FEC investigation of the coalition in the late 1990s were later used by IRS employees under Lerner to gather information from tea party and other conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. 

Adams discussed three parts of his book dealing with Alabama – its history of voter fraud, its inflated voter registration rolls and its attempt to enact a voter identification law. Adams cited Perry and Hale counties, both of which have a history of voter fraud – particularly with respect to absentee voting. He said “wranglers” have filled out absentee ballots in local elections and coerced residents to sign them “by the hundreds.”

The “Vote on Perez.”

“Labor Secretary nominee Thomas Perez made it through a Senate committee on an embarrassingly narrow 12-10 vote Thursday, with no Republican support. Democrats want to hold a Senate floor vote as soon as possible, and no wonder. The Justice Department’s civil-rights chief’s flexible interpretation of the law and disingenuous testimony echoes other abuses of power currently unfolding in Washington. . . .

Then there’s the not-so-small matter that Mr. Perez still hasn’t complied with an April 10 House subpoena of his personal Verizon email account, which he told House investigators he didn’t recall using for government business—a statement he later recanted. House investigators are still waiting to read the full text of more than 1,200 emails. Last week they learned of a second personal email account that Mr. Perez used for government business. . . .

Democrats seem determined to confirm Mr. Perez on a party-line vote, and generally we’d say that a President’s nominee shouldn’t be filibustered. But the problem with Mr. Perez isn’t merely a difference over policy. It’s abuse of power.”

This time on Greta.

The American Spectator: If Moretina hadn’t voted illegally, the race would have been a
tie. If allegations that Moretina’s wife also voted illegally prove
to be true, it will be safe to say that Royster lost his chance to
be a state representative through voter fraud.
