Thank you Detroit

A thank you to everyone who came out to Oakland Hills Country Club last night to hear the speech. Of course I was impressed by the historic clubhouse and the Green Monster, but more so by the welcoming hospitality. I’m sorry if I couldn’t get to everyone’s questions.  So feel free to email me at adams at election law center, all one word, dot com. Thank you all again.

Latest Pajamas Media article on DOJ and Section 5 of Voting Rights Act

Article about Shelby County (AL) and DOJ’s defense of Section 5 is here.

“I have written extensively in many outlets including Pajamas Media about the outright lawlessness emanating from the Civil Rights Division under Eric Holder’s leadership at the Justice Department. Whether it involves rewriting military voter protections, refusing to sue defendants because of their race, or ignoring the Motor Voter requirements, the rule of law is endangered by this DOJ. The latest example may be the Division’s defense of a lawsuit filed by Shelby County, Alabama, challenging the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).”

I wonder if the argument presented Friday will be a big topic of discussion at the blogs run by election professors.  Probably not.

DOJ opens investigation of Bell (CA) – for towing cars.

Bell (CA), the town infested with voter fraud is the subject of a federal investigation – whether illegal towing of cars took place.  More at the AP.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the voter fraud in Bell took on many different forms – including the casting of ballots for dead voters.  Of course this also implicates federal jurisdiction.  If dead people are on the rolls and casting ballots, a variety of federal statutes may be implicated, including Section 8 of NVRA.  Maybe they’ll get to those issues after they complete the towing investigation. 

More students charged with voting twice for President

This sounds like Tarrell Campbell’s effort to fully participate in the Presidential election in 2008.  More.

Antonio Charles and Matt Pichler both from Menomonie, have been charged with election fraud.  They allegedly voted in Minnesota and then in Wisconsin.  Charles was a UW-Stout student at the time.  Election fraud is a felony.”
