Holder is speaking next week.  MSNBC is on the case, and perhaps offering a clue for what Texas and/or South Carolina has in store for Voter ID laws.  A coordinated objection with an AG speech would really ramp up the politics of the issue. 

“Advocates of broader voting rights are looking forward to a speech on voting next week by Attorney General Eric Holder. “We’ve been pushing him hard to do that because we think it is a national crisis,” said Laura Murphy, the director of the Washington Legislative Office of the American Civil Liberties Union. “The big question is what will the Justice Department do – and that’s why we’re so excited about the attorney general’s upcoming speech.”
