Doing the DOJ’s Job for Them: Demanding Valid Voter Rolls Before November
Thanks Mr. Depew – more ad hominem attacks. That won’t win over minds.
“Its always republicans that want to raise the fear over voter fraud.”
There are so many thing wrong with this statement it is hard to know where to start. For one, it ascribes motive – “raise fear over voter fraud” – and gives it a purely partisan character. One might start by asking whether voter fraud exists. Obviously it does. You say it doesn’t. That lessens your credibility.

But efforts to force compliance with Section 8 don’t require proving vote fraud. The law says no such thing. Mr. Depew ought to answer the question whether he wants compliance with Section 8, no ifs ands or buts. Another problem is you fail to note, or change your argument (both would be intellectually dishonest) that the notice letters went to GOP Secretaries of State. Recall your initial line of attack was the claim this was a conspiracy against the Iowa Secretary of State to advance a partisan outcome in the election. You spoke too soon without knowing all the facts. Now that you know them, your argument has morphed into a more philosophical style partisan attack. Sorry, the law is the law. Either states are complying, or they are not. If Iowa does not appear to be in compliance, a cause of action may exist to require compliance, plain and simple.
“At least I provide my figures.” Yes, as I pointed out, figures derived from a flawed methodology. The methodology is as deficient as if I counted Spanish surnames and presumed they were noncitizens. There are ways to analyze data, and ways not to. Using Reg/TVAP might work in the blogosphere, but isn’t relevant in a courtroom.
Photo ID? Wonder where that bogeyman came from?
