Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler told The Daily Caller that the federal Motor Voter law was set up to “ensure controversy” and that the Obama administration is using it “to advance a political agenda.”

“I think it’s time for someone in the states to stand up against this foolishness coming out of Washington D.C.,” he said.

Schedler’s concerns echo those of a former Justice Department civil rights lawyer who recently told a Tulane Law School audience that the Obama administration is selectively choosing which parts of the National Voter Registration Act to enforce, in order to expand the voter rolls in every way possible.

… In his book “Injustice,” Adams described how Obama’s top DOJ appointees scuttled Section 8 investigations that could have limited the opportunity for fraudulent voting.

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes made it clear during a “brown bag” meeting in November 2009, he wrote, that the agency had “no interest in enforcing that provision of the law” since it was not related to boosting voter turnout.

Christopher Coates, the former chief of the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section, testified in September 2010 before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, saying that there were eight U.S. states with more voter names listed on some counties’ registration forms than there were citizens of eligible voting age. This, he said, put those states out of compliance with Section 8 requirements.
