Iowa’s top election official says warrants have been issued for three more people suspected of illegally voting in Iowa’s 2010 election.

I will be going on the Victoria Taft show today in the noon hour local PST on Portland’s blowtorch, KPAM.

Iowa wisely looks at ways to confirm the identity of the ever-increasing mail ballot voter.

The growing popularity of absentee voting in Iowa has prompted Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz to look into requiring signature verification for those who vote by mail.  Schultz on Monday said the idea springs from the general election earlier this month in which 46 percent of Iowa’s voters cast their ballots early or absentee, a record for the state.

Only one outcome will satisfy the anti-ID crowd, including Witold Walczak, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.  “Until it’s declared unconstitutional we’re not going to give in.”

This time from New Hampshire and the usual legal suspects.  I pointed out the problem with the Granite State Free Ride months ago.  This time the collusion is not going to go as smoothly as past collusion.  Stay tuned.

I will be with Sean Hannity on Fox News Thursday at 9 p.m. to talk about the Justice Department.  Details about the one hour special “District of Corruption” are here.

I just approved a bunch of comments dating back through election day.  Sorry it took so long.  Surprisingly, I didn’t get any fussy emails from any of you demanding I approve the comments immediately.  I guess that behavior is reserved for law professors.

Victor Davis Hanson at PJ Media:

“Yet the new emphasis on tribe is not necessarily a liberal vision. It ignores all human individuality and assumes that friendships, marriages, and alliances will not dare trump racial and ethic solidarity. Ours is now instead a Galadriel’s mirror of the Balkans, of India’s castes, of Rwanda, but no longer of a multiracial melting-pot America, where our allegiances were to be political, economic, and cultural and not necessarily synonymous with how we looked. Obama’s identity politics would create a Frankenstein of patched-together victims, and yet he will rue that it is a different story to use such a creature for constructive purposes. Such monsters are quite valuable when running for office, but can turn on their masters when it is time to govern. . . .

Beneath all the pseudo-healing rhetoric, this is the divisive tool by which Barack Obama ran twice — the hyphenated African-, Latino-, gay-American re-election committees for Obama, the son who might have looked like Trayvon Martin, the people of color who had “the president’s back,” the nation of cowards, the country where we punish our ethnic enemies and fight against the police who all stereotype, in which Joseph Lowery tells us what particular race belongs in hell and Rev. Wright identifies whose chickens must come home to roost and the Rev. Jesse Jackson names the real segregationists who long for the Confederacy. Only in the hyper-racialist America can we take quite distinct Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Chinese third-generation citizens and create from them the artificial rubric “Asian” in their shared antithesis to “white,” or take disparate Cubans and Mexicans and likewise reinvent them as identical Latinos, or take Jamaicans, Ethiopians, and American blacks and call them all “African-Americans” on the similar logic of not being something equally artificial like white — which I guess covers Americans who used to be Greeks, Irish, Armenians, Jews, Poles, and Danes.”

“On April 13, the National Center sent a FOIA request to the U.S. Department of Justice concerning a December 13, 2011 speech by Attorney General Eric Holder in which Holder claimed he was hearing “a consistent drumbeat of concern from many Americans, who – often for the first time in their lives – now have reason to believe that we are failing to live up to one of our nation’s most noble, and essential, ideals [protecting voting rights].”

This communication with Americans, Holder said, helped lead him to challenge state voter protection measures, such as the Texas and South Carolina voter ID laws, in federal court.

“The retrial of Democratic Board of Elections Commissioner Edward McDonough continued Monday with prosecution witnesses, and an appearance by Councilman Kevin McGrath, D-District 1.”  Full story.
