| Holder's DOJ Tells DOJ Voting Section Not To Enforce Voter Registration Laws |
| 2010-09-07 |
| In November 2009, the entire Voting Section was invited to a meeting with Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes, a political employee serving at the pleasure of the attorney general. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Motor Voter enforcement decisions. The room was packed with dozens of Voting Section employees when she made her announcement regarding the provisions related to voter list integrity: We have no interest in enforcing this provision of the law. It has nothing to do with increasing turnout, and we are just not going to do it. Jaws dropped around the room. |

| #7 how? We are Americans. We have a legacy of putting this type of regime. Start supporting the so called "Young Guns" in DC. Young Republicans who are wanting to launch Congressional investigations. But also stay on top of the election offices in your districts. Should be a high priority for your local Tea Party chapter. If not, make it priority for them. That will be your local fire wall against this crap. |

| #6 A lesser-known provision also obliged the states to ensure that no ineligible voters were on the rolls — including dead people, felons, and people who had moved. Our current Department of Justice is anxious to encourage the obligations to get everyone registered, but explicitly unwilling to enforce federal law requiring states to remove the dead or ineligible from the rolls. This is the provisions which Obama's DOJ is not interested in enforcing. Looks to me like they are encouring anyone and everyone (dead, felons, imaginary friends, etc...) to be registered - and no need to 'cleanup'. Look soon for a provision to require that all received registrations be accepted unless they are deemed 'invalid' by the above provision which the DOJ refuses to enforce. Since when can the DOJ pick and choose which laws it will or will not enforce? I guess this is no longer a nation of laws but a nation of whims by our ruling class. |

| #4 Obama and Holder are encouraging voter fraud, refusing to prosecute in hopes that Democratw can set up mechanisms to rig the elections before November. Obama and Holder must be stripped of their offices and prosecuted. |

| #3 Republican candidates for Congress, are you listening? This guy is giving you all the material you need to defeat your Democrat opponents in November. Use it. |

| #2 There is a nice provision in the law though that allows private citizens to sue to get the voter records clean. This just shows that the dhimocrats are pulling out all the stops to try to stay in power. Watch for more blatant attempts at power grabbing, corruption and intimidation from the feds as Bambi and Company as November gets closer. |
