Justice Takes a Barack Seat
Two days ago I had published this column about why DoJ is not enforcing the HAVA voting control act in Ohio. It turns out that I UNDERestimated the DoJ bias in favor of Obama. See this new report from OpenSecrets. Wow. So much for the establishment media image of “career employees” as being somehow neutral, disinterested defenders of the public good.
“So much for the establishment media image of “career employees†as being somehow neutral, disinterested defenders of the public good.”
This is disingenuous. Career employees are supposed to be neutral and disinterested in the performance of their job duties. There is no general prohibition on government employees contributing to political campaigns, and there’s no evidence of any bias in the HAVA case by any employee involved in the case.
Umnnnhhh…yah.
The Wisconsin AG filed a lawsuit demanding that Wisconsin’s elections board enforce HAVA rules reconciling State databases with voter registration.
Wi Statutes incorportated HAVA.
Of course, the suit was filed in a Madison Circuit court. After about 6 weeks of shilly-shallying around, the Madistan judge-ette ruled that ‘incidental differences don’t matter’ and that the WI AG doesn’t have standing.
Appeal will be filed. Fraud will continue unabated.
dad29 — only an activist judge would ignore standing requirements, or is activism only a problem when it doesn’t suit your cause?
Massive Voter Fraud in Michigan?

The problem is the entire assumption that higher participation rates are a per se Good Thing, which is pretty much more and more false the higher the base participation already is. This fantasy de-facto identifies the so-called “public good” with the good of the party that benefits from higher participation rates among the ignorant, making nonsense of the very concept of “neutrality” in this case. “Voter registrar,” like “sex educator,” “conflict-resolution facilitator,” and “UN ambassador” are all jobs that the very fact a person is eager for it proves him to be the wrong sort of person.
[...] This may explain why the Department of Justice is slow off the mark and more concerned with prosecuting speech cases rather than voter fraud. Those Republicans did a poor job of hiring based on party affiliation. [...]
I love the comments of reasonable ordinary citizens concerning cheating, fraud, lies and villainy. Its OK for our side to do it, because the other side does it too. The point is, it is not acceptable for anyone to do it. Voter fraud steals YOUR voice. This government was set-up to allow the citizenry to select responsible people to represent the majority views of the populous. Voter fraud negates that and allows a few to dominate the majority.
People in government work for us. Would you allow your employees to work against your business and steal from it? No. So why would you allow government employees do the same. It is the job of the DoJ to investigate and prosecute instances of fraudulent activities in the election process. If the employees of the DoJ refuse to do that, they, themselves, have committed a crime. It is either non-feasance or malfeasance in office. The government will continue to stand only as long as people have confidence that their vote counts and that they have a say in their government. The enforcement of voting laws is one of the main reasons for that confidence. When it evaporates, then governance will be decided by bullets, as it is in half the nations of the world.
After living in DC for a couple of years and getting to see the sausage making up close, I quickly realized that the nonpartisan civil servant is a bureaucrat and most bureaucrats are far more interested in the perpetuation of their own positions than in actually serving the public.
This is a necessary reminder.
