SC lawmakers demand Voting Section Voter ID preclear memo
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and Rep. Trey Gowdy have demanded that the Justice Department Voting Section turn over the recommendation memo written by the attorney reviewer in the Section 5 unit, the Section 5 deputy and the Section Chief. Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith co-signed the letter to Eric Holder, which starts:
We are troubled by a report that Justice Department political appointees ignored and overruled career Voting Section experts’ recommendation that South Carolina’s voter ID law be approved. Accordingly, we request all documents and communications pertaining to the Department’s decision to oppose the law and pursue costly litigation. We are concerned that scarce funds are likely being wasted opposing common sense legislation that was cleared by the Department’s own nonpartisan experts.
This will get really interesting if DOJ denies that a preclearance recommendation was made. That would be false. PJ Media has more details on the exclusive story. DOJ notably never denied the accuracy of the initial story. The primary reason they cannot deny it is that it is true.

“Michigan asks voters if they’re legal citizens; ACLU freaks out”
The American Civil Liberties Union teamed up with the SEIU and a few other interested groups to sue the Michigan Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson, over her addition of a check box to ballot applications, asking voters to confirm they are U.S. citizens who legally have the right to vote. ACLU’s Michigan executive director, Kary Moss, described this as a “cynical voter suppression tactic.” No, this is not a joke or satire. The ACLU actually thinks a check box asking voters to confirm that they’re legally entitled to vote constitutes “suppression.” The mad scramble to protect vote fraud operations had degenerated into this level of absolute lunacy. Devoid of anything approaching a logical argument, vote fraud defenders are down to describing a simple “Yes or No” question on ballot applications as a “roadblock” that will “confuse” and “intimidate” minority voters.
The dreaded “check box”:

Federal Judge: Voting law doesn’t discriminate, no need to expand Florida early voting.
Florida doesn’t have to provide 96
hours of early voting in all counties for the Nov. 6 election, a
federal judge ruled in a lawsuit over claims that a 2011 law
discriminates against blacks.
…The 2011 law cut early voting to eight days from 14 and
removed the final Sunday before Election Day. Opponents asked
the court to force counties to offer 96 hours of early voting
and make the final Sunday before the election a voting day.
The opponents failed to show that the law “operates to
deny or abridge African Americans’ right to vote on account of
their race,” Corrigan said in a 35-page ruling.
