Is this the same thing?
The Left wanted to take control(the Left always does) of state elections.
This is to clean up voter rolls which have been intentionally kept dirty for political reasons, namely voter fraud.
You make my point exactly. The Feds getting involved in State Elections is a very slippery slope. And exactly what the left wants.
The next Democrat President (and yes, there will be one), will be even further left than Obama was. Bank on it. Thats the direction their party is going in. And imagine him (or more likely, her) having this as a precedent.....
I don’t reflexively should rah rah just because my side is doing it. Sometimes my side is wrong.
