Looks like folks are catching on to the pufferfish.  Texas AG Abbott in the USA Today.  “Attorney General Eric Holder used tortured logic and manipulated statistics to reach the already-rejected conclusion that photo ID requirements are racially discriminatory.”

 National Review: “The ideologues in the Civil Rights Division of the Holder Justice Department are proving themselves to be not only blindly partisan, but legally incompetent. In the process, they are hurting disabled individuals and their families, while costing the American taxpayer big bucks. Americans simply cannot afford the price of this incompetence and ideological zealotry.
Case in point: the persecution of the Conway Human Development Center, an institution for developmentally disabled individuals operated by the state of Arkansas.”

Voter ID and more at Bigs.

Houston Chronicle link.  Regarding those elusive facts and how the voter ID objection letters make them more elusive (and some would say dishonest), read Lee Stranahan on the “DOJ Pufferfish” at Big Government.

Matthew Boyle at Daily Caller has details.

The Texas Attorney General in USA Today reminds us:

“The electoral system cannot inspire public confidence if no safeguards
exist to deter or detect fraud or to confirm the identity of voters.”
That was conclusion of the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, headed by former president Jimmy Carter
and former secretary of State James Baker. The commission recommended
stronger photo-identification requirements at the polls. Its logic was
straightforward and convincing: Americans must show photo identification
for all kinds of day-to-day activities, such as cashing checks or
entering government buildings. The many photo ID requirements we
encounter in our daily lives are legitimate, effective security
measures. Securing the ballot box is just as important.

While a Kansas senate subcommittee was too lazy to find time to hear the Secretary of State’s request to implement citizenship verification sooner rather than later, the Kansas House has decided to help the Senate. 

Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s proposal to
move up the date to require proof of citizenship for voter registration
is again before the Kansas Senate.

The Lawrence Journal -World reports that House members have replaced the contents of a Senate bill with
Kobach’s plan. Kobach said the move allows the Senate to vote on it.

Bottom Line:  It appears that the concept of citizenship verification prior to registration is not yet dead.
