You know it’s election season when the political left starts attacking voter identification laws as racist measures that have nothing to do with ballot integrity. Last week the Obama administration and civil rights leaders once again were sounding this theme.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told an audience in Austin, Texas, that photo ID requirements hurt minorities. “Are we willing to allow this era — our era — to be remembered as the age when our nation’s proud tradition of expanding the franchise ended?” said Mr. Holder. “Call on our political parties to resist the temptation to suppress certain votes,” he added. “Urge policy makers at every level to re-evaluate our election systems and to reform them in ways that encourage, not limit, participation.”

Full story at the WSJ.  There appears to be no daylight between the head of the Democratic National Committee – Debbie Wasserman “Jim Crow” Schultz – and the alleged chief law enforcement official in the country –  Atorney General Eric Holder.  Using language like “urge your policy maker” to do X or Y, the next thing we might see is Holder making commercials for the DNC based on DOJ’s principled opposition to photo ID laws.
