I’m scheduled to appear on Vicki McKenna’s WISN-AM 1130 AM radio show in Milwaukee today at 12:15 a.m. ET to discuss the very very bad amendments to the Voting Rights Act sponsored by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.). The amendments would return to Eric Holder massive federal power over state elections. It would give Holder back the power to block state election integrity laws like Voter ID and citizenship verification that the Supreme Court stripped away last June.
Sensenbrenner is working with far left groups like the NAACP and ACLU to return this power to Holder’s Justice Department. His bill also specifically strips white voters from the protections of some parts of the Voting Rights Act – a long held dream of the militant race left.
Last week Sensenbrenner was the victim of undercover videographer James O’Keefe. In O’Keefe’s video, Sensenbrenner displays an unfortunate lack of knowledge about what is in his own bill. For example, he incorrectly tells a camo-wearing O’Keefe that the bill stops Eric Holder’s attacks on Voter ID. “I got a provision in there that basically gets Eric Holder out of going after photo ID laws.”
Sensenbrenner is wrong. His bill actually gives Holder more tools to attack election integrity laws like Voter ID.
Sensenbrenner was invited to appear on McKenna’s show at the same time I am on. He refused. He will appear on a separate time and day. Let’s hope he has a better understanding of his own law than he did on the Project Veritas video shot by James O’Keefe. (Link to WISN streaming).
