Tom Perez will be meeting with Voting Section staff at the Justice Department at 12:30 p.m. today. Topic TBD.
Low Information Voters
Someone emailed me asking what is a “low information voter?” Here’s a Jimmy Kimmel video that provides some insight. Note the woman at the end who says “I don’t know, I just voted for him because he’s black.” Ugh. So terribly sad.
American Spectator on Tom Perez
Link “If President Obama thinks he can get away with appointing an obvious prevaricator to be Secretary of Labor – and a radical, race-baiting one at that – he has lost all touch with reality. Even a group as confused and fractious as the caucus of Senate Republicans is sure to find the collective backbone to block the (expected) appointment of Thomas Perez. As I described in detail last August, Perez is one of the most loathsome figures in the thoroughly loathsome political ranks of Obama’s Justice Department. . . .
Indeed, Perez doesn’t even seem to be a very good lawyer at all: His positions also have been rebuked by courts in Arkansas (about the Civil Rights for Institutionalized Persons Act), again in the D.C. District Court, in New York on an education case (U.S. v. Brennan), in a Florida abortion case where Perez’ team was abusively prosecuting peaceful protesters, and most particularly in a major Perez loss in Florida when trying to force the statenot to remove non-citizens from its voter rolls.”

Still no action from the DOJ for violations of federal law.
