Dallas Morning News.

Only two Republicans want renewed federal oversight of state elections.

I’ll be on with Megyn Kelly tonight to talk how the administration is hiring activist lawyers to influence policy.  Scheduled for 9pm hour, barring rescheduling.

Rep. Trey Gowdy asks the question.

The answer is old news.  The answer is – he already does.

No longer content with the noble goal of trying to expand voter education and participation in a non-partisan way, the League of Women Voters (LWV) is just another left-wing organization that blindly follows the talking points of the Democratic Party and opposes all voting integrity reforms that increase confidence in our electoral system.  

 The League of Women Voters has joined those who seek to overturn, by judicial challenge, the Wisconsin voter ID law. The entity which is known for providing opportunities to further our knowledge of our political candidates, has now also set itself up as an authority on constitutional law.   …Let’s hope that the LWV soon tires of taking sides in partisan politics, and returns to its good non-partisan work regarding candidate exposure.

Yet another of the supposed never-happens event – voter impersonation in a no-voter ID state, this time Massachusetts .

Cue the solution-search-of-a-problem crowd, or the, “who would risk a felony” bunch.  But now it will merely be “rare,” “isolated,” and “less common than albino whales.” 

 National Review: “New Black Panthers. Fast and Furious. NSA domestic spying. Spying even on reporters. Solyndra. Pigford-settlement fraud. Contempt of court concerning offshore drilling. IRS harassment of conservative groups. E-mail lawbreaking at the Environmental Protection Agency. All sorts of reversals, embarrassments, and scandals at the Department of Justice, including egregious trial misconduct. And, of course, the incompetence and cover-ups related to Benghazi. . . .

In all of this, Obama’s key thought will be to effect Saul Alinsky’s eighth rule for radicals: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep the opposition off balance. Attack from all sides, never letting the opponents catch their breath or regroup.

That good old “voter suppression” narrative again, this time from Bill Nelson. 

Control and custody of absentee ballots is one of the ripest areas for voter fraud, perhaps even more than polling place fraud.  Opponents of Voter ID regularly proclaim there should be more scrutiny of what happens with absentee ballots, until there is.

Nelson says there are Voting Rights Act issues here.  He’s wrong.  States can make rules about absentee ballots, as Florida has done.  The Voting Rights Act doesn’t reach the question of how absentee ballots are handled after casting in this circumstance.
