Washington Times:

“But Cleta Mitchell, legal adviser to several GOP House and Senate leaders, said the RNC and the party have more fundamental problems.

‘Until Chairman Priebus and other GOP leaders focus on rooting out the greed, cronyism, and corruption of the ‘little white boy’ consultants who make millions of dollars, year in and year out, and yet lose elections — and until there is real accountability and transparency to donors to ensure that integrity is restored to GOP circles — none of these initiatives will matter,’ Mrs. Mitchell said.”

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has made history again and appointed Rep. Tim Scott to be the next U.S. Senator from South Carolina.  Scott is a good man who is a story of good choices, hard work, love of country and a changing South.  Scott was a witness in the United States v. Charleston County Case brought by the DOJ when he was on Charleston County Council. 

Linda Kerns writes at the Philly Inquirer about the cause of some of the unrestrained lawlessness at the polls in Philadelphia :

“When we appeared for their polling-place certificates, prior to Election Day, the attorney for the Democratic City Committee objected to all 307 petitions on a variety of grounds, including that we could not prove that many of our proposed workers were literate. (It’s ironic that Democrats seemed to be trying to bring back a literacy test for voting.) The court overruled every objection and, after two days of back-and-forth, we were the proud owners of 307 court-ordered certificates. . . .

On Election Day almost 100 Republican poll workers were told, in no uncertain terms, to go home by their Democratic counterparts. Despite my petition, the Election Court judge refused to issue an order directing that any persons with valid minority inspector certificates be permitted their rightful seat in their voting districts.”

Would the placement of Republican poll watchers have made any difference in President Obama’s landslide win in Philadelphia? Obviously not. However, in between presidential years, the city holds three general elections and three primaries. Turnout can be about 20 percent, and some races are decided by razor-thin margins. A couple of stolen votes, in just a few of the more than 1,600 voting precincts, could change an outcome.”

Looking forward to what Justice Roberts and Kennedy think about congruence and proportionality of a law that the Federal government never chose to enforce: “For more three decades, New Hampshire ignored the law. We never sought preclearance to change the voting hours in Antrim, Boscawen or eight other towns, or for changes in state law that affected those towns. Getting off the U.S. Department of Justice’s list was time-consuming and expensive, so we never bothered. And the federal government never seemed to care.”

“Nothing inflames crazies and the Left more than requiring photo identification to vote. They hint at racism as the raison d’être behind such ideas. Or discrimination against the poor, the elderly or people who do not photograph well. It is an effort by evil Republicans to suppress voting, they wail. Or, worse, outright mopery. And, after all, why bother? Everybody knows there is no voting fraud.”

This is why the voter fraud deniers and the organized left is leaving the voter ID debate and moving onto federalizing control over state elections: Voter ID worked.  Boston Globe Democrat link here.

Behold the fruits of redistricting in Georgia.  This is what happens when some districts are drawn with predetermined outcomes in slavish obedience to Section 5.  Last time it was Guam.  This time it’s midgets, Leona Helmsley, and “abnormally small people” (the better term).

“An investigation by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has led to a subpoena of SEIU’s Washington, D.C. headquarters and has implicated the prominent labor union in a voter fraud case that threatens to lead to criminal prosecution.”

“Unfortunately the First Lady’s comments continue the baseless attacks that have been made upon those leaders who are simply taking reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of elections. This past election speaks for itself.
