[EL] mooting Kinston case?/noncitizen voting/charlie white

[Mathew Manweller]

Or, it could be that the case in Kinston is so intellectually indefeasible, so offensive in the suggestion that minorities need partisan cues on how to vote and other races do not, and such a mind boggling overreach of federal power, that even Eric Holder understood that this dog would not hunt.

Breaking: DOJ Poised to Moot Kinston Case Challenging Constitutionality of Voting Rights Act 
Posted on February 3, 2012 9:20 am by Rick Hasen 
Check out this document.  I would guess that the thinking is that DOJ would rather go up to the Supreme Court on the Shelby County case record than the record in the Kinston case.  I think that’s probably a wise calculation.  Kinston involves a DOJ denial of preclearance of a move from partisan to nonpartisan elections, with DOJ’s objection in part that minority voters would have a harder time identifying Democratic candidates.
