Joan Walsh delivers her usual over the top blend of partisanship and racialism over at Salon while giving us a preview of the next phony narrative to emerge from the voter fraud deniers: A post Shelby wave of litigation to protect voting rights will launch shortly.

Another way of saying this is that for the last 4 years, the Eric Holder Justice Department has failed to pursue a single Section 2 case, hardly any language minority cases (and none since the staffer pushing hardest for them left) and zero efforts to clean up the voter rolls of 4,000,000 ineligible voters.

Walsh runs interference for the administration, which is nothing new.

But if you are one of the reporters getting the calls and press releases from the groups, you might ask the Office of Pubic Affairs at DOJ why the Department hasn’t filed a Section 2 case in over 4 years if voting discrimination is so rampant.

If you are one of the reporters being spun by the groups, you might ask why it is that only one or two cases have been filed under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by third party groups in the last 4 years if voting discrimination is so rampant. 

I somehow suspect these questions won’t be asked by Joan Walsh, because she isn’t interested in the answers.  She’s interested in advancing a partisan narrative on Voting Rights at odds with the enforcement records of her friends.
