"TRUE THE VOTE COMMENT ON CORRECTED VOTER SUPPRESSION REPORT"
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47938>
Posted on March 1, 2013 10:37 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47938>
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
Statement
<http://www.truethevote.org/news/true-the-vote-comment-on-corrected-voter-suppression-report>in
response to this <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=47906> and this
<http://www.fairvote.org/true-the-vote-fudges-the-numbers-in-new-turnout-study#.US_08RnpaVg>
from FairVote:
"We stand by True the Vote's report. Everything we said about the
major conclusions in the report are correct. In a supplementary
section, there was a methological error and it has been acknowledged
and addressed. While we appreciate those who have zealously brought
this to our attention for accuracy purposes, we would like to point
out that patently false statements published by Stanford Law
Professor Pam Karlan in a Duke Law journal about the Voting Rights
Act and the Bush administration have never been corrected. We call
upon those guardians of accuracy to address her false scholarship."
For context, those living in Bizzaro world have attacked Pam Karlan (and
me for not attacking Pam Karlan)
