Wisconsin Trial over Voter ID Law Underway

A federal trial began on Nov. 4 over Wisconsin's voter ID law. The trial involves two cases and is expected to last two weeks. A Dane County judge in a different case has already blocked the law, but opponents of voter ID are pursuing the federal litigation in an attempt to ensure the requirement never goes back into effect. Minorities and senior citizens testified Monday about costly and time-consuming difficulties they faced in getting photo identification as they pressed their case to permanently invalidate Wisconsin's voter ID law. Assistant attorneys general defended the law in court, saying requiring IDs was a reasonable way to curb fraud and maintain public confidence in the way the state runs elections.

Iowa Man Guilty in Vote Fraud Case

DES MOINES -- A Dallas County man, Tehvedin Murgic, pleaded guilty to interfering or attempting to interfere with a voter while the voter was marking a ballot during a general election. A report last November by the Associated Press said Murgic was ineligible to vote because he was not a U.S. citizen, but registered and cast a ballot in the 2010 general election. A Secretary of State's Office spokesman also said Murgic is a felon, another factor that could make him ineligible to vote.

Holder Sues North Carolina over Voter ID Law

The Justice Department filed suit Monday to block North Carolina's new voter-ID law, with Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. accusing state Republicans of engaging in a deliberate effort to suppress black voter turnout. Mr. Holder also warned state officials across the nation not to adopt voting laws that could hurt minorities, and he said Republicans' worries about voter fraud are "not real." "The Obama Justice Department's baseless claims about North Carolina's election reform law are nothing more than an obvious attempt to quash the will of the voters and hinder a hugely popular voter ID requirement," North Carolina State Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and House Speaker Thom Tillis, both Republicans, said.

Texas AG: Obamacare Would Not Be Law Without Vote Fraud

Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, discussed voting rights, redistricting and Texas' voter ID law at a panel in Austin on Sept. 28 and made the argument that the Affordable Care Act would not have passed into law without "voter fraud." Abbott, speaking at the Texas Tribune festival, said Minnesota Senator Al Franken won his seat, which was decided by a 312-vote margin, because of voter fraud and that his subsequent vote on the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, wouldn't have been cast.
