Federal Court Strikes Down Racially Exclusionary Election

Imagine an election where only voters of one race were allowed to vote, and every other race was not allowed to vote.  Do you think Eric Holder’s Justice Department would be involved?  You’d think.

But they weren’t.

I’ll have more about this shortly.  Here is the court opinion from the Federal Court in the CNMI striking down a brazenly racially discriminatory election as violating the Constitution and Voting Rights Act, and nowhere in sight was the DOJ.

It’s not hard to figure out why DOJ sat this one out.  Just ponder a bit about the plaintiff and a bit about the beneficiaries of the racially discriminatory law.
