    "Justice Department Poised to File Lawsuit Over Voter ID Law"

NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/30/us/politics/justice-department-poised-to-file-lawsuit-over-voter-id-law-in-north-carolina.html>:

    The Justice Department is expected to sue North Carolina on Monday
    over its restrictive new voting law, further escalating the Obama
    administration's efforts to restore a stronger federal role in
    protecting minority voters after the Supreme Court
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/s/supreme_court/index.html?inline=nyt-org>
    struck down part of the Voting Rights Act
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/v/voting_rights_act_1965/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>,
    according to a person familiar with the department's plans....

    North Carolina's law cut back on early-voting days, eliminated the
    ability of people to register to vote on the same day as casting an
    early ballot, and prohibited the counting of provisional ballots
    cast by eligible voters who went to the wrong precinct.

    It also requires voters to present photo identification to cast
    ballots, but does not allow student IDs, public-employee IDs or
    photo IDs issued by public assistance agencies. Black voters in
    North Carolina are disproportionately likely to lack identification
    issued by the State Department of Motor Vehicles, according to state
    data.

    All four provisions are being challenged by the Justice Department,
    the person familiar with the plans said.

So repeatingdebunking <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55129>.

I now think it is official: AG Abbott is a member of the Fraudulent 
Fraud Squad.

(I was unable to speak at TribuneFest on VRA---that would have been fun 
but I had a personal conflict.  I would have loved to discuss this with 
AG Abbott.)

527s are not as important as before, given Super PACs and the increased 
use of 501c4s and c6?s, but these figures 
<http://blogs.rollcall.com/moneyline/irs-releases-section-527-reports-showing-98-million-in-donations/>

    A Constitutional Right to Vote For "None of the Above"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55537>

Posted on September 29, 2013 2:08 pm

The Supreme Court of India held last week that voters have a 
constitutional right in elections to vote "none of the above."   The 
Court concluded that the right to reject candidates is the same as the 
right to vote for them; both are protected under the right to freedom of 
speech and expression, according to the Indian court..  For the story 
from the Times of India, which states that 13 countries permit this 
option (I can't vouch for that) seehere 
<http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-09-27/india/42458275_1_negative-voting-nota-option-apex-court>. 
<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304795804579100983021305874.html>As 
this additionalstory 
<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304795804579100983021305874.html> 
points out, nearly 1/3 of the members of the lower house of Parliament 
currently face criminal charges. 
<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304795804579100983021305874.html>

In the United States, Nevada permits a vote for "none of the above." 
/Providing/ this option was challenged as unconstitutional during the 
2012 presidential elections; the provision was enjoined preliminarily by 
a district judge; and the Court of Appeals roundly rejected the district 
court's opinion.  On that, see here <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=52796>.

AP 
<http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013/09/28/us/politics/ap-us-states-voting-rights.html?ref=politics>: 
"Emboldened by the Supreme Court decision that struck down the heart of 
the Voting Rights Act 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/v/voting_rights_act_1965/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>, 
a growing number of Republican-led states are moving aggressively to 
tighten voting rules. Lawsuits by the Obama administration and voting 
rights activists say those efforts disproportionately affect minorities."

I guess the elephant whistle 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/08/north_carolina_s_speedy_vote_suppression_tactics_show_exactly_why_the_voting.html>

<http://news.bna.com/mpdm/MPDMWB/split_display.adp?fedfid=36772832&vname=mpebulallissues&jd=a0e2a9q3p4&split=0>: 
A "federal judge has set a streamlined schedule to hear a challenge to 
New York state contribution limits, which could lead to a prompt ruling 
on whether the limits apply to a political action committee (PAC) 
backing a Republican candidate in the Nov. 5 New York City mayoral 
election (New York Progress and Prot. PAC v. Walsh, S.D.N.Y., Civil No. 
13-6769, filed 9/25/13). Arguments about a motion for a preliminary 
injunction in the case will be heard Oct. 8 in a federal district court 
in Manhattan, according to a Sept. 26 order by Judge Paul Crotty of the 
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York."
