“Jim Crow Alive and Well in Holder’s DOJ”

“Jim Crow is popular in the current U.S. Department of Justice, too. Attorney General Eric Holder frequently bashes voter identification laws as examples of Jim Crow. Apparently the nation’s highest legal officer cannot distinguish between requiring a photo ID to confirm an individual’s identity and requiring an individual to prove they are descended from people with the “right” skin color.

In any case, Holder refuses to fight Jim Crow in the Pacific. Whether it’s white Confederate descendants or dark-skinned men whose ancestors were from the politically correct color of the moment, it’s Jim Crow either way.”

Three Years in Prison for Texas Voter Fraud

Fraud alters the outcome of an election. 

“Heath, Doyle and Cook all changed their residential addresses to 9333 Six Pines Drive – the location of a Residence Inn in The Woodlands – to vote in the 2010 RUD election. They won by a 10-2 margin, but that election was overturned by the incumbents in a lawsuit.

Heath, a resident of The Woodlands, was convicted of illegal voting Nov. 1. The jury decided Heath, 56, knowingly voted in the May 8, 2010, election of the RUD Board of Directors despite not having permanent residence in the district.”

SC proposes State Election Commission oversight of county election boards



SC elections bill awaits vote in Senate:


 


The proposal sent Friday to the Senate would create a statewide model for county election boards and give the State Election Commission oversight over them.  That new authority could improve elections and ensure everyone’s vote is counted, state elections spokesman Chris Whitmire said…


 


The proposal would require post-election audits, bolstering what’s already done…


 


The bill’s authority also would have enabled the state agency to assist Richland County following its long lines of 2012, to formally recommend how to prevent that from happening again, Whitmire said. Voters stood in line for up to six hours because voting machines weren’t properly distributed among the precincts.

Over a Billion Indians successfully use Photo ID to vote

Voter ID in India works for a billion voters, many that live in the misery of poverty.  

The Indian voter ID card is issued by the Election Commission of India. Its primary purpose is as identity proof for casting vote. It also serves as general purpose identity proof, address proof and age proof such as buying a mobile phone SIM or applying for a passport. It is also known as Electoral Photo ID Card (EPIC). As of March 2014, the population of India is 1.25 billion (125 crore) and it has 1 billion (100 crore) voters. Therefore, one billion voters will cast vote in the parliamentary general election of 2014.

UPDATE: “Federal judge puts U.S. Rep. John Conyers back on primary ballot”


 


Not all politicians have to follow the same election laws after all:


 


U.S. Rep. John Conyers on-again, off-again roller coaster ride for the Aug. 5 ballot took a new twist Friday when U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman put him back on back on the ballot.  His decision, released late Friday, contradicts the Secretary of State’s review of Conyers petition…

Leitman said the signatures from at least two circulators who were found to have not registered properly to vote, a requirement under state law, should be reinstated, giving Conyers enough valid signatures to be on the ballot.


 


“There is evidence that their failure to comply with the Registration Statute was the result of good faith mistakes and that they believed they were in compliance with the statute,” Leitman said in his ruling.


 


“Voting Discrimination Struck Down in Northern Mariana Islands — DOJ Nowhere to Be Seen”

More on CNMI ruling from National Review.


“President Barack Obama can brag all he wants about the voting-rights cases his administration has allegedly “taken on.” But here’s a case conspicuously absent from that bogus list.


Judge Ramona Manglona of the federal district court for the Northern Mariana Islands just threw out a blatantly unconstitutional provision of the territorial government that strictly limited registration and voting for a referendum to only those “persons of Northern Marianas descent.”
