A Letter That Might Matter In A Few Months

Remember The Department of Injustice & Revenge's military voter suppression project?  It finally percolated up to Senator Jon Cornyn's radar, and he's "fired off" a letter to Eric The Red demanding answers, and apparently thinking he's going to get them:

In his letter to Holder, Cornyn cites minutes from the 2010 winter meeting of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), during which Rebecca Wertz, deputy chief of the DOJ’s voting section, told state election officials that the legislative language regarding waivers is not completely clear. Wertz described the provisions of the law as “fairly general” and “somewhat of an open question as to what type of information” a state needs to submit in order to for their waiver application to be granted. She said it was also unclear whether waivers are for one election only, or if they apply to future elections.

According to the meeting’s minutes, obtained by FoxNews.com, Wertz also said “that the DOJ is working to find effective ways to disseminate any information guidance that can help states with different questions about MOVE interpretation. She invited questions and dialogue from states, and said that litigation is always the last resort.”

Cornyn wrote, “If these are the positions of the DOJ, then they fly in the face of the clear statutory language, undermine the provisions in question, and jeopardize the voting rights of our men and women in uniform.”

He said the language of the law makes it clear that there is no ambiguity when it comes to states’ eligibility for being granted a waiver, and that the statute does not leave room for the Justice Department to decide whether to enforce its requirements.

Senator Cornyn knows the answers without asking the questions: the military vote always trends right-of-center, and the Obamunists don't want more right-of-center votes.  So encourage as many states as possible to request wavers enabling them to flip off men and women in uniform serving "in harm's way, far away" and there are that many tens or hundreds of thousands of fewer votes for The One's enemies.  They're filthy, crooked, authoritarian extremists, but they're not stupid.  At least, not about anything related to retaining their power.

Doesn't this pretty much answer Cornyn's letter by omission?:

Adams notes that the DoJ website has an entire section for felons looking to recover their voting rights, but nothing at all on MOVE.  Their information on military voting pre-dates MOVE and is now inaccurate, Fox News reports, and the DoJ doesn’t appear to consider fixing that a priority.

Maybe Cornyn'll have the chance to ask these questions to Holder's face next year, though I imagine if November goes as disastrously for the Dems as it's looking it will, the latter will probably be "spending more time with his family" by then.
