Time and again, Eric Holder’s Justice Department and its Civil Rights Division has shown how highly partisan it is. From its dismissal of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, to its harassment of jurisdictions with voter ID laws, the Division has proven that its far-left liberal ideology determines whether it will enforce (or not enforce) the law. Now it is ignoring the plight of military voters.
The Division once again revealed its true colors in several recent cases to enforce the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (Motor Voter). Keep in mind that in 2009, shortly after the Obama administration took over, the Division dismissed (without explanation) a lawsuit filed by the Bush administration against Missouri under Motor Voter because the state was not removing from its registration rolls voters who had died or moved away.
When Congress defunded ACORN in 2009, liberal groups such as Demos and the NAACP pressured Justice to mount an aggressive campaign to force states to provide more extensive voter-registration services at welfare offices, health clinics, and social-services offices than states were already providing. In early 2011, Demos and the NAACP started to see the fruits of their labor.
The Justice Department filed its first Motor Voter lawsuit against Rhode Island in March. The Division followed up with a lawsuit against Louisiana in July. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Tom Perez justified the lawsuits by stating, “[t]he voting process begins with registration, and it is essential that all citizens have unfettered access to voter-registration opportunities.”
Yet, neither lawsuit attempts to protect “all” citizens. Both cases focus only on the voter services being provided at welfare and other social services offices. In other words, the Division is not trying to protect “all” citizens, but only those who depend on government entitlements...

this is disgusting and should not be allowed.
Another issue the GOP is not raising hell about
What a pack of dopes
Absolutely. The Holder DOJ has treated the MOVE Act like a step sister from the time it took effect and the GOP has been mostly silent.
This is terrible. So how, as citizens, can we assist our military in this? Suggestions? What if we each sent thank you cards to our angels in the military with registration forms in each one and a SASE for returning it? We mail tea bags to voice our stand, let’s do the same to strengthen our support of our military because waiting for this administration to do “the right thing” is never going to happen.
Democrats - Thieves, Thugs, Thralls and Thickheads
In other words, the “Obama/Holder Civil Rights” Division is not trying to protect “all” citizens, but only those who depend on government entitlements “and vote DummieCrat”...
