Eric Holder vows to aggressively challenge voter ID laws

[baked_goldfish]

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Tuesday vowed to be “aggressive” in challenging voting laws that restrict minority rights, using a speech in Texas to make his case on the same day a federal court was considering the legality of the state’s new voter ID legislation

I fucking cannot with Mitt Romney trying to use his father as proof that he's a good man. Mitt wishes he was one tenth the man George was.

Oooh, now I have to google this man.

Yeah, look up how he palled around with Saul Alinsky. No, really. Or how he tried (and inevitably failed) to use HUD to desegregate white suburbs that were trying to lock out black families. Dude was by no means perfect but the distance between Mitt and George Romney is fucking astronomical. If it weren't for the fact that there's a strong physical resemblance, I wouldn't believe for a minute that they're even related.

I can't believe that part of Texas' defense is that ONLY 168,000 voters are without IDs. So if they get disenfranchised, I guess its no big deal. If even one eligible voter is incorrectly removed, its a big deal.

WI also enacted voter ID crap. It was a very different experience to vote this year than it has been any other year.

This is such a bunch of bullshit ,

The republicans know that this is the only way Romney can get into the white house , they cannot win!!! They have to be stopped before November.

Can't they appeal it in those other states? This election is driving me insane you all have no idea
I have no idea what I am going to do if Mitt Romney gets elected.
