Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi dismissed the lawsuit Thursday, saying Van Hollen lacked the authority to sue to force the state Government Accountability Board to comply with the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002,

Let me get this straight. The State Attorney General has no authority to try to have the law enforced? OTOH, why doesn't he just charge the members of the GAB with willful violation of the law? Let them run to court to try to overturn his actions.

The fix is in. No longer can citizens of this country 1) have a legitimate 1 person, 1 vote election, and 2) question the basic eligibility of a person who is running for the highest office in the land. A conservative would have to win by 10 or 20% in 2012 to overcome the voter fraud to come.... You think it’s bad this year, just wait till future elections.

HAVA is Federal law...he has no jurisdiction. His only recourse is to sue.

You are correct. The statute, itself, is very specific as to who has the right to enforce that particular law and the state attorney general is not one of them. The United States Attorney General, however, does have enforcement authority.

Also announce that those on the GAB who refuse to check people's eligibility before they vote will be prosecuted as accomplices in the casting of every fraudulent ballot which would have been caught had they exercised reasonable diligence.

In Arizona, the Secretary of State has responsibility for the conduct of elections. She would be the State official with standing to sue, whereas our AG would not.

This could be the basis of the judge’s ruling in Wisconsin as well.
