Virginia Senator: “DOJ Supports Voter Suppression”

Ooops.  This wasn’t supposed to happen.  DOJ’s opposition to Voter ID stoked the civil rights base.  We heard from the Attorney General how it was a poll tax, 9th Circuit caselaw notwithstanding.  We heard how it was the second coming of Jim Crow. That the Justice Department exists to remove barriers to the ballot box – on and on and on.  The base loved it.

Then Virginia happened, and soon so will New Hampshire.  In Virginia the DOJ approved a voter ID law that the Washington Post opposed.  The base is suddenly concerned. 

Consider Virginia Senator Locke.  He says DOJ is aiding voter suppression.  More to come.  New Hampshire is next.  Once you decide to ride a tiger, it can be a wild unpredictable, high risk ride.
