Here's the real voter registration fraud: States failing to register voters, as required by federal law, as disability, military recruitment, and food stamp, wic and medicaid offices:

Quote: "An equally important but less well-known provision of the NVRA is the requirement that states offer voter registration opportunities to clients and applicants of public assistance programs. Programs covered by the NVRA include Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Medicaid. Public assistance offices are in a unique position to increase voter registration rates among low-income citizens, furthering the intent of the NVRA to increase registration among populations underrepresented on the voter registration rolls.

Thirteen years after the NVRA went into affect, only a handful of states are consistently complying with the requirement to offer voter registration services to clients and applicants of public assistance programs. In fact, voter registration applications from public assistance agencies has declined by 79 percent between 1995-1996 and 2005-2006. The NVRA Implementation Project was created to address this problem.

The Project is a joint effort by Project Vote, a leading nonpartisan, nonprofit provider of voter engagement services and Demos, a national voting rights and election reform policy organization. The Project assists states, social service agencies, and election officials with implementation of public agency registration. In addition to technical assistance, the Project documents noncompliance and, when necessary, initiates litigation to enforce the NVRA."

Where's the press coverage on this? One memo on that page estimates that about 2 million low income registrations should have been filed, had the law been followed!

PS (How do I do the cool block quote thing? It didn't work to use "[blockquote]".)

Kudos to TPM for getting the first interview with David Iglesias anywhere on the subject of the US Justice Department's ongoing efforts to suppress the vote and increase racial tensions for the political benefit of Republicans.

Nobody else seems willing to connect the dots.

David Iglesias is that figure, I think, we on the left pine for; the principled, honorable Republican. It's why so many of us fell for John McCain and to a lesser degree, Arlen Spector and Lincoln Chaffey. They were (or seemed like) good people.
Now, Iglesias may end up being the second most important man in America. He may be the voice of reason that we have to show to our in-laws and coworkers saying, "See? This is what I was talking about."
That said, conservatives, as of late, seem perfectly content shooting the messenger.

Help me out here. Is there ANY way to fight back effectively against this very clear and present danger of a political attack by the DOJ and its FBI?

The entire ACORN bullcrap that has been going on for years is built on a mountain of lies, both actual and by omission.
1. The only fraud committed was against ACORN by one of its employees.
2. ACORN is required BY LAW to turn in ALL registration forms even if they are obvious fakes, it's the SoS job to verify the registrations.
3. ACORN actually goes an extra step. They attempt to contact every registrant to verify the registration. Those they verify goes in one pile, the ones they can't contact by phone goes in a second pile and, finally, those which are obvious fakes and suspicious one go in a third pile. The SoS are aware of this as those 3 packets are given to them with explanations attached.

Major kudos to David Iglesias,a true american.This guy ought to be considered for AG,No ?.Not bound by party affiliation but duty of country what a guy.Let's hope the Obama admin will have the guts to go after those who have broken our laws & not sweep wrong doing under the rug with the simply "in the interest of bi-partisanship BS".But we have already seen we are all the "same,we don't prosecute ourselves BS".Just take a look at the Al Smith dinner video:You really think after sitting with law breakers & yukking-it up with 'em O is going to bring justice ?That will be the day.

"It's a scare tactic." -- Iglesias. Hey, lets intimidate newly-registered voters into giving up. Let's greet them with good ol' boys who will demand proof of identity (and there better not be any typos), proof of residence, proof that the voter's house isn't in foreclosure. Don't you have a criminal record? Haven't I seen you on a wanted poster? You sure don't look like you live here. Aren't you a member of a criminal organization known as the Republican party?

time for the dems to ammo up and roll this back hardcore on the Republicans.

Calling someone un-American for their political leanings is vile. Calling voter suppression un-American is entirely accurate and fair game, as this runs counter to core American values of Democracy.

It is very Intersting Sandvick did his part to fight the massive voter fraud conspiracy he fingered by challenging 7 absentee ballots. So far as we can tell, this massive fraud did not sway the election. Every one should agreed.
