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.

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.

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.

Foiled FOIA.   A portion:

“The situation is actually worse than what this former Justice lawyer described. Even when nonliberal outlets received extremely belated replies, the results frequently were nonresponsive. Two of the 10 delayed responses involved requests from The Washington Times. On July 9, 2010, Justice informed Investigative Editor Jerry Seper that 82 documents, consisting of 155 pages, were applicable to his Jan. 4 request. However, the department claimed an exemption for all 155 pages. Not a single word of a single document was provided.

Justice bureaucrats made the mistake of stonewalling for five months a FOIA request from Rep. Frank Wolf, Virginia Republican, who now chairs the subcommittee that oversees the department’s budget. Yesterday, Mr. Wolf wrote to Justice’s inspector general demanding “an immediate investigation” into what he called “potentially, a violation of federal FOIA law.” Hopefully, the intrepid Mr. Wolf can get to the bottom of the Obama administration’s latest affront to limited government.”
