I will be appearing at the Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville on Thursday at noon, room 465.  There should be CLE credit available through the Lawyers Chapter of the Jacksonville Federalist Society.  Topic: Voter intimidation laws and DOJ enforcement.

This will be one of many appearances in October coinciding with the release of Injustice.  Just a few of the cities I will be in shortly include New York, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Pittsburgh, Charleston and New Orleans.  More details to follow.

I just learned that Injustice is available on audiobook for those of you who like to read books by having them read. (Especially for those who prefer to drive rather than fly).  It is available unabridged, in CD or MP3, and even in cassette form.  It is narrated by Johnny Heller.  I volunteered, but this guy is one of the best in the business.  A funny sample of Heller reading “the Guide to Guys.”  Sounds like he has the perfect pitch to capture some of the absurd humor in Injustice.

Pajamas Media has reported extensively about FOIA favoritism at DOJ, particularly in the voting section.  Friends get quick turnaround, opponents wait.  Even Congress has been sniffing around, so you would think that would end the practice.  Guess again.  Next week, more details will be reported about continuing problems with DOJ’s FOIA policy and quick turnaround time for friends.  The behavior hasn’t stopped and the behavior is worse than anything that has been reported so far.  Were Congress to ask for updated FOIA logs from the Voting Section, updated from the last log they received, they would see that the pattern of FOIA favoritism has not abated.  Next week, it will be clear how it happens.

More here.  “There were some bombshell allegations in the Troy voter fraud case. Specifically, an accusation that the special prosecutor arranged an invalid plea deal in order to protect Democratic higher-ups.”

So even when voter fraud is prosecuted, it really isn’t sometimes.

Pajamas Tatler has more.

AP reports that only 22 people were inconvenienced and burdened enough to use a free ride to the DMV to obtain photo identification. 

DMV spokeswoman Beth Parks said Tuesday the agency spoke to 675 people who called the agency seeking information on the law. About 48 people requested a ride for Wednesday.  When agency personnel called people back to schedule rides, they found many had obtained rides and identification cards on their own.

“We found that a lot of people had gotten their own transportation and gone ahead and done it on their own,” Parks said, adding that a final number of scheduled rides would be announced later Tuesday.  A few callers did not have the proper documents and callers were given information about how to get them, she said.”

And this from the story:

“South Carolina’s new law won’t stop people without ID cards from voting. They’ll be allowed to cast provisional ballots and have to prove who they are within three days with a photo ID to have that vote counted.”

Analysis:  The Supreme Court ruled that requiring voters to travel to an election office and provide the necessary photo id or documentation to count their provisional ballot was not an excessive, undue or discriminatory burden.  South Carolina’s photo identification provision does not actually prohibit any voters from casting a ballot.  For those registered voters that may forget or have the requisite identification, they are able to cast a ballot and then obtain and show the necessary identification within three days to ensure it is counted.

Tennessee State Sen. Bill Ketron contends a critic of his voter ID law proved the legislation is needed by being a convicted felon who fraudulently voted for several years.

“This is about following the laws we have on the books,” said Ketron, a Murfreesboro Republican who sponsored the voter ID law. “He disenfranchised my rights.”

@ Roll Call: House Democrats could endure an unprecedented number of primaries this cycle that pit white and black Members against each other thanks to redistricting.  The emerging Member-vs.-Member contests stand to stir tensions between the Congressional Black Caucus and the broader Democratic ranks as well as fracture state delegations

Amazing story at the Link focusing on the hiring spree of left wing attorneys into the Civil Rights Division.  And it is only the end of the beginning.  “Every Single One” is only half the story and much more is to come.

The evidence shows that the AAG for Civil Rights Thomas Perez introduced the Civil Rights Division to the “victor owns the spoils” system.  The blatant patronage hiring would have made Andrew Jackson blush.  Whatever the denials, the evidence clearly shows that Perez and his bloated leadership team rigged the hiring process from the very beginning to produce skewed hiring results and pack the Department of Justice with ideologues.  

With no oversight from the Democratic controlled Congress and little mainstream media interest, the Civil Rights Divsion leadership simply thought they could get away with ignoring civil service and budgetary laws and pay the exorbitant cost of additional hirings later.  Expect people to sweat as “later” finally arrives and you see a marked increase in the number of resignations, retirements, and unusually early and handsome buyouts.  The big question is where in the world did the money come from to hire all the new recipients of the Obama spoils system while the rest of the federal government was in a deep hiring freeze? 

Ooops, did someone forgot to check the credit limit of the cash card.  No overdraft protection?  The account on the overdrawn check:  The U.S. Congress.  Expected congressional oversight might get a bit heated and the soothing emails from Perez to all his new hires won’t be able to make it all better.
