Full Text of Christopher Coates’ Testimony to U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (PJM Exclusive)
Remember, this guy learned voting rights prosecution during an 8-year stint at the ACLU. He’s a true believer who has been pushed to the breaking point, and there’s a no more dangerous creature for the bad guys than a disillusioned idealogue. And I might point out that those 8 states who refuse to clean up their voter rolls before the 2010 elections- as he pointedly mentioned- are going to have hell to pay if a there’s a squeaker and the Republican loses, especially if he/she is white and the opponent is not. The lawsuits from those cases alone will ensure that this issue does not die out.
Kudos, Mr. Coates. I have a feeling there are a few people out there who will take up the torch from here. Oh, and watch your back.
