South Florida Caribbean News:  “Commissioner Rebeca Sosa is advocating for stricter penalties for residents caught committing voter fraud with absentee ballots. During the Tuesday, October 18, 2011 Miami-Dade Commission meeting, Commissioner Sosa will introduce an ordinance she is sponsoring that would amend the County Code to make violators of current absentee ballot laws pay fines and/or serve jail time.”

Project Vote has filed this brief to the Fourth Circuit. The case involves the Commonwealth of Virginia. Project Vote argues that voter registration forms are documents which the public has a right to inspect under the National Voter Registration Act.  Citizen groups have discovered on these forms that some election officials have registered noncitizens or have registered the same person multiple times. 

I was on Fox and Friends this weekend talking about the DOJ.  Video here.

A disservice.

This one is likely to get bigger before it gets smaller.  I will eventually write more about this but suffice to say, if the Obama campaign collected phony signatures to get on the ballot there, problems await.  Read details here.

I was on Lou Dobbs talking about DOJ attorneys who were sanctioned and promoted, the Voting Section’s unwillingness (so far) to enforce Section 8 of Motor Voter as well as Fast and Furious.  Link here.

A mayor resigns in exchange for no voter fraud case being prosecuted against him.  This is a bad outcome.  The resignation of the mayor would have followed any conviction, as would possible criminal penalties.  Merely requiring a resignation minimizes the seriousness of manipulating our electoral system.  Worse, there appears to have been a conspiracy.  Will the conspirators be prosecuted?  It seems not.

I am told that the great debate between me and Quanell X is cancelled.  Apparently the school wasn’t keen on all the ancillary issues associated with the event on the notice involved.  But my federalist society speech is still on at 3:30 at South Texas law, Tuesday.

RUSH: J. Christian Adams’ new book is entitled “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department.” I had a fascinating 35 minute chat with him yesterday. It’s the interview for the next upcoming issue of the most widely read political newsletter in the country, the Limbaugh Letter. It was a fascinating interview. I never had any interviewee tell me, “That is a great question,” more than he did. Right, Dawn? Must have said that to 75% of my questions. Fascinating. Here’s from his book. And the book, folks, well worth your investment. It’s one part shocking, but in another sense it won’t surprise you at all since we know who these people are, we know what makes them mad, we know the rage they carry around, we know that the chip on their shoulder is large, and we know that they intend to use their power here to get even.

So from Christian Adams’ book: “For much of his life, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. carried around something peculiar…an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. Holder put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades. What were Proctor’s words that Holder found so compelling? ‘Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else.’ …When asked to explain the passage, Holder replied, ‘It really says that… I am not the tall US attorney, I am not the thin United States Attorney. I am the black United States attorney. And he was saying that no matter how successful you are, there’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.’…It may seem shocking to hear these racialist views ascribed to America’s top law enforcement officer. But to people who have worked inside the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, these attitudes are perfectly familiar.”
