Justice Department lawyer Bradley Heard was in court on Feb. 12 trying to stop Kansas from ensuring that only citizens register to vote.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, relying on a United States Supreme Court opinion of last year, asked the federal Election Assistance Commission to permit him to ensure that only citizens were registering to vote.
The Election Assistance Commission said no, so Mr. Kobach went to federal court. Enter Eric Holder’s Justice Department, as usual, opposing election integrity measures.
