After a key provision in the Voting Rights Act was struck down by the Supreme Court in June, the Obama Administration turned to another tactic to seek pre-clearance for changes to election laws, starting with the Lone Star State.
In Texas, following Holder's announcement, the DOJ claimed clear evidence of discrimination both in the past and present, and asked a federal court to impose at least 10 years of required pre-clearance.
Holder also pledged to block a Texas voter ID law passed in 2011 that state Attorney General Greg Abbott had green-lighted immediately following the Supreme Court’s Shelby County ruling
By choosing Texas, the largest and most Republican of all the states, the Obama Administration is signaling to its base and key minority constituencies that it is doing "everything possible" to uphold the VRA...
“Once again, the Obama administration is demonstrating utter contempt for our country’s system of checks and balances, not to mention the U.S. Constitution,” Texas Gov. Rick Perry...said in a statement.

Gotta love the doublespeak. When they’re against voting rights, the media claims they’re “for voting rights”.
He’s fighting for voting rights so says Time Magazine.
Texas needs to offer its more liberal residents a free home in Detroit. I think it would be awesome and be worth it to give them a $1000 house and a free ticket on Greyhound to get them out of Texas. Plus Detroit needs to replenish its dwindling population.
We could mail out the anouncements to the Obama voters mailing list “Congratulations, You Are A Winner!”...
The libs in Austin would only want them for “summer vacation homes” or suchlike . . . or try to be a slum landlord; yeah, that’s the ticket . . .
Yep, we need to make it “your occupation is required” or its null and void.
Plus Detroit needs to learn that high walls and sniper towers are the only way to keep people in a Workers Utopia. Once those abandoned and distressed properties are filled with new liberal residents, the walls go up!
Everyone wins.
TRANSLATION: 0bama and Holder will turn Texas “blue” even if it means vote fraud through ANY means, under the guise of enforcing the Voting Rights Act.
“Voting rights” is not all that big a thing. Just keep recounting the ballots, throwing out the “undesirable” ones, until you get the outcome you want....
Like those precincts that turned in a margin of 108% for the Current Occupant of the White Hut, to 0% for Romney, in the 2012 election.
108%? How is that even possible? Even Josef Stalin could not get those results in the former Soviet Union.
bump
“108%? How is that even possible? Even Josef Stalin could not get those results in the former Soviet Union.’
But you remember what Stalin said, which still applies:
“It’s not who casts the votes, it’s who counts the votes”... or something along those lines.
The Obama Administration.
Supreme Court rules in your favor. It is the right thing and want the “people” wanted.
Supreme Court rules against you. Cry, whine, bitch, claim it goes against want the people want and then go screw with someone...
Come on Texas. Hand them their asses..........

just like abortion is “reproductive rights” .
“108%? How is that even possible? Even Josef Stalin could not get those results in the former Soviet Union.”
It’s not possible. There were some initial reports of precincts/counties with over 100% turnout, but they have all, to my knowledge, been debunked (the Ohio county that was alleged to have 108% turnout actually had something much lower, like 58%). Are you aware of any verified instances of > 100% turnout?
And, when you think about it, it wouldn’t make sense for there to be > 100% turnout. It’s the easiest way to get caught stealing an election. Say what you will about the 0bama team, but they’re not amateurs when it comes to dirty tricks.
We could learn a lesson from the left. They never, ever give up. If the law doesn’t work, they take it to the courts. If they lose in court, they try to find another way to get what they want.
Leftists are NOT good losers.
We will. Don’t mess with Texas - it really isn’t just a saying.
Holder is obviously vindictive. Though the House is out to lunch too.
How much is finally too much?
Wouldn’t Holder need to have voting rights violations, before he could ride in for the rescue?
It’s as if he’s all decked out astride his stick pony, with no place to go.
Just ONE example... there seem to be many more:
BREAKING: Massive Voter Fraud in St. Lucie County, Florida
Heather Ginsberg | Nov 10, 2012
“On Tuesday only one precinct had less than 113% turnout. “The Unofficial vote count is 175,554 registered voters 247,713 vote cards cast (141.10% ). The National SEAL Museum, a St. Lucie county polling place, had 158.85% voter turn out, the highest in the county.”
The Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, had this to say concerning the 141% voter turnout: “They may have had something like that in Palm Beach County, but we’ve never seen that here.”
Prediction: Perry will call the legislation into emergency session to pass a law making it a serious felony to try to enforce a law in Texas that has been stricken down by SCOTUS.
