Scheduled for the Kelly File tonight to talk about how Debo was defeated and perhaps all sorts of other things. Schedule subject to change, of course.

“In Defense of North Carolina’s Voter ID Law”
The Reverend Mark H. Creech at Christian Post.
For the Christian, voting is the most sacred of civic duties. People on the left may continue railing against the new Voter ID law, but it only works to protect the integrity of the state’s elections. And that’s something that even pleases the Almighty.

Democratic National Committee launches new offensive against voter integrity laws, including photo ID
The DNC is also launching a new Voter Expansion Project, centering the pushback against ID requirements and other voting laws within the party. Starting long before Election Day, central staff will train campaign workers around the country on restrictions and rules and what to do about them, deploying lawyers and other experts full time in states to fight back, in the field and in courts.
The DNC is trying to go on the offensive as well, mounting campaigns against new voting laws in an attempt to turn its Capitol Hill headquarters into a nexus of information, education and organizing tools for state activists and lawyers — some of whom will be coming on to the official payroll. It will be promoting the new effort heavily, starting with a Thursday morning announcement to supporters built around a launch video from Bill Clinton.
“It’s not enough anymore to be against these new voting restrictions,” he says, in a sign of Clinton attention to the national party. “This project, through legislation, education, registration and good old-fashioned advocacy and organizing, we’ll protect and extend the franchise.”

“Missouri voter photo ID requirement moves closer to ballot”
The St. Louis Post Dispatch: The question of whether voters should have to carry a photo ID to the polls could be decided on the ballot in 2014. The Missouri House on Thursday approved measures to require photo identification, but the changes to the state’s constitution require approval by voters. Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles, said he would like to put the issue to a vote of the people.
Proponents of a requirement that voters present a photo ID or cast a provisional ballot argue it will increase the integrity of the election process. Rep. Stanley Cox, R-Sedalia, sponsored the constitutional amendment.
“We deserve the protection of photo identification at the moment the vote is cast,” Cox said.
