CNS reports that:  President Obama agreed with “Hardball” host Chris Matthews on Thursday that Republicans are trying to deny people the right to vote, and he specifically mentioned long lines at polling places as a problem. …Obama said he’s asked election lawyers to “sit down with a group of experts”  to come up with “a whole series of voter reforms.”  ‘”They’re supposed to report back to me by the end of this year, so that early next year, we’re going to put forward what we know will be a bipartisan effort — or a bipartisan proposal — to encourage people to vote. 

President Obama says he wants bipartisan reforms.  He does not further that goal when he feigns ignorance of the voting process and repeats the lies of some dark conspiracy to suppress votes. 

The “election lawyers and group of experts” will likely provide a number of recommended best practices in registration and voting practices across the country. It will be significant that the Presidential Commission will find no facts or evidence to support the claim of voter suppression or that long lines were caused by intentional actions by any state legislature, election official or political party.  It is doubtful that any proposed federal legislation will be bipartisan or seriously considered by the Congress if  President partisans in the White House write the bill for their activists and repeat the lie over and over.
