Restoration Weekend Panel Saturday

Thrilled to be on a panel with Cleta Mitchell and Catherine Englebrecht at David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend Saturday.   We’ll be talking about abuses of power at the DOJ and all sorts of other election law related matters.  The full lineup for the weekend is here and has some barnburners like Senator Ted Cruz, John Fund, Michael Barrone, the always blunt Pat Caddell, Monica Crowley, Rep. Louie Gohmert, Apollo 17 Astronaut (and Senator) Harrison Schmitt and of course James O’Keefe, sans cameras.

The Sloppy DOJ NC Voter ID Complaint

I’ll be talking about the sloppy DOJ complaint in the North Carolina Voter ID (et al) case on Tuesday November 12 at the Cardinal Club in Raleigh at noon and at Wake Forest Law School at 7pm. Both events sponsored by the Federalist Society. 

The slop to which I refer is the wholly absurd claims that requiring in-precinct voting violates Section 2.  And that’s just for starters. The complaint is noteworthy for the bald assertions without any supporting data.  It reads like a press release written by a political operative, not by a litigator. 

I’ll have more at both events.  Details on both events are here.

Reversing Course on Voter ID at the Dallas Observer

 Link here.

“All this year the consistent narrative for the Texas voter photo I.D. law has been that photo I.D. is a Republican conspiracy to keep Democrats like me from voting. August personages of the political realm, like Dallas Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, have declared that vote fraud is nonexistent in Texas. They say the whole photo I.D. thing is aimed solely at vote suppression.

That’s what I wanted them to do. Suppress me. I wanted to be suppressed so I could express my ire. . . .

“Yesterday I had to show Voter ID in order to vote. Today I still seem to be alive.”

At least one writer has some intellectual honesty on Voter ID.
