I spoke this morning at CPAC on a panel with Andy McCarthy and Hans von Spakovsky.  The text of my speech is here and von Spakovsky’s speech is here.

A PJTV interview with us is here.

From CPAC here.  Topic: FOIA lawsuit,  Pajamas Media vs. United States Department of Justice (D.C.D.C.)

Economist recaps  the Shelby County (AL) hearings on Section 5.

At PJ Tatler. 

New York Post on Rick Scott’s quirky and creative refusal to submit the new redistricting panel to DOJ for preclearance.   Suppose he next files in United States District Court for preclearance.  He would still control the timetable as the plaintiff to some extent.   One might imagine scheduling conferences taking place weeks later, nice slow discovery, on and on it might go.

Sponsors have yanked the all-mail ballot legislation in Colorado.

Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf, citing my article today at Pajamas Media has demanded answers from DOJ about playing politics with freedom of information requests.  Pajamas Media had to sue the Department of Justice two weeks ago in Federal Court to obtain information which the DOJ provided to the Boston Globe in 2006.

Read Wolf’s letter here.

I am told that DOJ wanted to CHARGE CONGRESSMAN WOLF to comply with the FOIA he sent DOJ which I discuss in my article. 

Here’s an issue few anticipate.  Apparently voter ID laws cause problems for transexuals when they try to vote.  More at the Kansas City Star.

Scott has outfoxed the foxes it seems.  LA Times offers this fair and balanced report with extensive sourcing from both sides of the issue.

“‘This is extraordinary. I’ve never seen anything like it,’ said Richard Pildes, a New York University law school expert on election law.”

From the Pueblo Chieftain. Scott Gessler is onto something.  Mail-in and absentee ballots are the form of voting most prone to fraud.  Peruse 494 F.Supp.2d 440, at 455, if you have a few minutes.
