Former US Department of Justice official J. Christian Adams testified before the US House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution today. Adams, who has blown the whistle on voter fraud and DoJ wrongdoing from the New Black Panthers voter intimidation in Philadelphia to the politicized hiring practices of the Holder era, testified on “Voting Wrongs: Oversight of the Justice Department’s Voting Rights Enforcement.” Adams’ full prepared testimony is downloadable here. What follows is an excerpt of Adams’ testimony.
One of the most unfortunate circumstances relating to the 2012 elections is the absence of DOJ enforcement of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act. Voter rolls nationwide are filled with ineligible and dead voters. Yet the Department of Justice is deliberately refusing to enforce Section 8 and require states to purge rolls because of philosophical disagreement with the purging statute. Failure to enforce Section 8 to require states and localities to clean up voter rolls presents a troubling circumstance prior to the November 2012 elections.
Some counties in the United States have outrageous and implausible percentages of voting age citizens registered to vote. Consider just a few. Noxubee County, where widespread voter fraud was proven in the case I litigated of United States v. Ike Brown, has 113% of voting age citizens eligible to vote.4 In the case, the United States presented evidence of in-person voter impersonation. But Noxubee isn’t even the worst county in Mississippi. Ten counties have higher percentages than 113%, including Tunica where 2011 saw multiple voter fraud convictions, and Claiborne County, Mississippi, where 162% of eligible voting age population is on the rolls. Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann has begged these counties to clean up their corrupted rolls, but Mississippi law provides him no statutory weaponry, except begging. The Justice Department has the power to step in and sue states and counties to clean up their rolls, but it deliberately refuses to act.
Unfortunately, the Justice Department has not brought a single case under Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act. Indeed, when I was at the Voting Section, political appointees expressed open and outright hostility to enforcing Section 8. Former Voting Section Chief Christopher Coates testified under oath that he recommended eight Section 8 investigations into various states, but that the political appointees overseeing the Voting Section simply said the Obama administration would not enforce Section 8 to require the removal of ineligible voters.5 Coates also testified that political appointees announced to the entire Voting Section in November 2009 that the Obama administration would never enforce Section 8 to require states to purge ineligible voters. Coates’ testimony was given under oath, and I can corroborate his account because I was also an eyewitness. Dozens of other eyewitnesses to these instructions exist.
With over 150 counties across the nation with more voters on the rolls than could possibly be eligible to vote, the outright refusal to enforce Section 8, a provision that was part of a carefully crafted compromise by Congress in 1993, threatens the integrity of the elections in November 2012.

He “testified”.
That’s past tense.
Did I miss notice of this? Surely it was on C-Span?
I would have loved to watch the Q&A.
He testified. But will they listen?
Great work Mr. Adams!
Thank you for your tireless efforts. It is a testimony to your honesty and principles.
Bravo Man!
Bravo!
Keep up the fight. We’re with you.
Go get them Mr. Adams. Will anyone be posting a link to the video of his testimony? I would love to see it too.

“He testified. But will they listen?”
Only the Republicans.
You know, it’s almost like Democrats want voter fraud. Nah, that can’t be it.
Everyone, even Democrats when you catch them with their guard down, knows that Democrats want voter fraud.
I loved his testimony, too bad know one else will ever hear it other than us. I too am very curious as to any questions that may have been asked and by whom?
Impeach.
I note that Noxubee County is 69% black, Tunica Country in 70% black, and Claiborne County is 84% black. Mississippi as a whole is 36% black.
I present these figures, not to suggest blacks are inherently more prone to political corruption than whites, but to suggest an explanation why Obama’s DOJ is uninterested in the problem.
OK. I’ll specify. It’s because they’re black, and poor, and low-class. I have no illusions since Pigford. They steal and cheat as a group. Especially in their churches.
They see nothing wrong in this. They’re just foolin’ ol’ whitey. Gettin’ dem repuhmurashuns.
Black churches are a HUGE part of the destruction of the black community in America.
Surrounded by a handful of his internal coterie, Obama and his people brag and laugh that, because of leftist voter fraud, Democrats begin key elections ahead by anywhere from 3% to 6% of the total vote. Which should surprise no one. Obama is corrupt in most every other way, especially stealing taxpayer money, so why should stealing votes be any different?
Americans elected a liar, a racist, a progressive small c communist, a man bent on destroying this country by neutering the military, giving away defense secrets and looting the treasury. Adding voter fraud to Obama’s list of transgressions just goes with the nature of the man, nothing more than a bum from the neighborhood.
Your everyday traitor.
God Bless You Mr. Adams for being a Patriot….too bad there’s not one single republican in DC with ANY morals or guts that will support you in either this endeavor or any of the other CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES (Fast and Furious, ‘Flexibility’ on missile defence, etc…)this Thug-in-Chief has committed along with his corrupt lapdog Holder. Disgusting, terribly disheartening, it makes me want to cry I am so angry. The media that was supposed to protect us from this dictatorial tyranny has actually joined them in destroying our wonderful nation. We are better than this. We are not Venezuela dammit. I am waiting for OUR REVOLUTION to begin; where do we sign up?
Sub Chairman Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Judiciary Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX) were kind enough to invite my testimony. Credit where credit is due, please. One does not walk in off the street and offer testimony to the House Judiciary Committee.
John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
It is obvious that a people who would put the anti-Constitution Party in charge of Congress inn 2006 and put a Marxist in the White House two years later lack the morality necessary to live in freedom. Now, they will lose it.

Thank you Mr. Adams for your constant commitment to the Constitution. You alone are a voice of reason and logic in a corrupt government. You are very, very brave, sir. Please watch your back. I am sure you have many enemies in this administration. In my opinion, you would make an excellent AG in the Romney administration.
just want to test my registration
