“The existing safeguards are insufficient to prevent this from happening again, and are inadequate for us to prosecute cases with these facts. We honor the law and our elections processes in this State and in this specific case. Here, justice was best served by dismissing the charge,” District Attorney George Brauchler said in a statement. Prosecutors said Degefa illegally voted in 2008 and 2009, but the statute of limitations in those cases had expired.”
“Four people, including William T. Hazard of Boynton Beach, wound up getting up charged over allegations of submitting false voter registration forms. State investigators looked at questionable forms submitted in seven counties, including instances where voters had their party affiliation switched from Democrat to Republican.
Hazard was arrested on Tuesday on eight charges of submitting false voter registration forms. In Florida, it is a third-degree felony to “willfully submit” any false voter registration information, a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.”
Clarion Ledger: “Unless a lone affidavit voter shows up with a valid photo ID before next Tuesday, Glenn Bolin and Stephanie Bounds will draw straws to see who becomes Poplarville alderman. In a special election runoff Tuesday, Bolin and Bounds each received 177 votes. But one voter showed up at the polls without a photo ID, as now required by law in Mississippi, and voted affidavit. That voter has five business days to bring in a valid ID, and could determine the election.”
The irony. A voter who failed to bring ID can decide an election. Let’s see how truly interested they are in validating their ballot.

Wall Street Journal poll finds that if you know who Eric Holder is, you probably don’t like him. Simply, the public now realizes the scope of the racialism, lawlessness and corruption at the Justice Department.
I’ll be nationwide with Laura Ingraham today talking DOJ Civil Rights Division.
I sat down yesterday with Nigel Farage in Washington D.C. Farage is the leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party. Elections are scheduled in the UK for 2015. I spoke with Farage about a wide range of issues, from ISIS to immigration to voter fraud. In the last elections this year for European Parliament, UKIP received more votes than even the Conservatives and Labour. Farage is shaking up the British political scene. My full interview with Farage is here at PJ Media. A snip:
Adams: You have vote by mail?
Farage: Not all of it, but a huge amount of it is by mail. Loads of it is fraudulent. Loads of it is collected through intimidation. Quite frankly, I’ve seen one or two elections in parts of our cities that resemble a banana republic. It is shocking. Blair did it. The Conservatives didn’t question it. I am leading a campaign to abolish postal voting.
The House GOP leadership has this memo on the legislative to-do list for the remainder of the year. Not on the list? The effort to reassert Justice Department power over state elections by reversing the Shelby County Supreme Court case.
“”The plaintiffs have demonstrated, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the division standard practices and procedures that are in place … are not designed to transmit substantially equivalent information in the applicable minority language,” Gleason told the courtroom.
Gleason told assistant attorney general Margaret Paton-Walsh, who represents the state in the case, that the defendants must enact a series of improvements before Election Day.
The judge recommended an array of changes: additional training of poll workers, a more visible presence by translators in villages on Election Day, gathering local feedback on ballot language to account for different dialects, and so on. But she asked the defendant and plaintiff, respectively, to work out realistic modifications.
Paton-Walsh told Gleason, in response, that changes were unlikely.
“I don’t think we can do anything you’ve suggested here, given everything that needs to be done,” the attorney told the judge.
“If your response is ‘we can do absolutely nothing between now and Nov. 4,’ so be it,” Gleason said. “I’ll go forward.”
Given a moment to consider that possibility, Paton-Walsh backed off and agreed to have suggestions to the office by close of business Friday.”
