Latest at Pajamas Media: Protecting military voters for 2012

My latest at Pajamas Media is here.

From PJ Tatler:



“Today the House holds hearings on the military voting mess of 2010.  My PJM preview provides unreported details how the Justice Department suggested that unconstitutional ballots should be sent to military voters across the country that omitted down-ballot contests, such as for governor races.  The article also describes what Senator John Barasso (R-Wyoming) is doing to end Eric Holder’s monopoly over protecting military voters before the 2012 elections.  You can watch the hearing here starting at 10:30 a.m.”

“Bumbling and obstinacy at Justice” Voting Section

Washington Times on military voting in 2010 and today’s hearing in the House Administration Committee.

“Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for civil rights, is testifying today about military voting problems before the House Administration Committee. He should get hammered for the bureaucracy’s laggard attention to making sure those who defend our rights can exercise their own right to vote.”

18 voter fraud warrants issued in NY

New York authorities have issued 18 arrest warrants for voter fraud charges.  The Times Herald Record has more.

“Warrants for 18 people have been issued following a months long voter fraud investigation, Orange County Sheriff’s Office officials said Saturday.


One person was arrested Thursday and another 17 people are expected to turn themselves in Monday on charges that could include forgery and filing a false instrument, sheriff’s office officials said Saturday. Ralph Caruso, campaign manager for state Sen. Bill Larkin, R-C-Cornwall-on-Hudson, said that just before the November elections, he filed a complaint with the Orange County Board of Elections, naming a number of registered voters suspected of using addresses belonging to summer camps in the Village of Woodbury.”

Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote: “How much vote fraud is ok?”

Congratulations to Houston’s True the Vote and Mark Antill and Catherine Englebrecht of True the Vote.  They won the extremely prestigious Ronald Reagan Award at CPAC 2011 for their efforts to combat voter fraud.  I’ve written about them and their upcoming National Summit in March here at Pajamas.  An interview with Catherine Englebrecht after she won the Reagan award is here.
