She’s back.  Washington Post Morning Bits. “The lead Justice Department attorney in the FDNY case is Loretta King, who ordered the dismissal of most voter-intimidation charges against Black Panthers in Philadelphia and who is hip-deep in other race-based legal controversies.”   Full story.

Dallas County Justice of the peace Carlos Medrano is under investigation for voter fraud.  Dallas Morning News has more.   Medrano is accused of getting two non-residents to vote for him.  Medrano won the election by 150 votes.

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey has much to say.   Former Attorney General Mukasey was viewed by almost everyone as a fair honest dealer. He brought integrity to DOJ, now integrity is lacking.  As I noted in this BigGovernment article, Holder interfered in the investigations to the New Black Panther dismissals by offering his opinion there was nothing there to investigate.

“Mukasey is flabbergasted that the attorney general would declare in a New York Times interview that in effect ‘there is nothing to see.’ Mukasey says, ‘I can’t see how he would bring himself to say such a thing. There are investigations pending’—by the Justice Department’s inspector general and Office of Professional Responsibility. The case against the New Black Panthers for intimidating voters at a Philadelphia precinct in 2008 was already won when Holder’s team ordered the charges dropped; famed civil rights attorney Bartle Bull deemed it ‘the most blatant form of voter intimidation I’ve ever seen.’ Says Mukasey, with a measure of indignation, ‘It seems to me you don’t whitewash such a thing.'”

PJ Tatler has the story  about some odd discoveries on Capitol Hill.

Colorado citizenship verification is  “a solution in search of a problem.”

Wisconsin Voter ID a “solution in search of a problem”  too.

It seems Texas Voter ID is also a “solution in search of a problem.”

Same in Mississippi where Voter ID is “a solution in search of a problem.”

Of course in Minnesota, Voter ID is “a solution in search of a problem.”

New Orleans will lose three districts in the Louisiana House of Representatives.  More at the Times-Picayune.

In the Novato Patch.

“Long-time resident Fred Muse protected protesters in the woods at night and on the road during five-day historic march.”

The price of a vote may have been $5 in Suttle, Nebraska.

“The best we can hope for is that lawmakers in Madison come up with a plan that’s fair for everyone.

But African-American voters in Milwaukee shouldn’t wait to see how it plays out, but rush to educate the community about what’s coming down the road. For years, some black males in Milwaukee have told me they don’t vote because they fear being caught up in the system for things like back child support payments, outstanding warrants or even traffic violations.

None of that is supposed to keep a person from voting, but it’s still the perception of many. That has to change.

With the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday on Monday, it’s a good time to remember when blacks were routinely denied the right to vote and vow to do whatever we can to keep it from happening again.

How many bubbles in a bar of soap, indeed.”
