ACLU of Iowa Asks Judge to Block Effort to Remove Ineligible Voters from Rolls

The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa has asked a Polk County judge to permanently block a state rule guiding the removal of ineligible voters from the rolls. The request for summary judgment in the lawsuit against Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schulz is the latest turn in a case that has gone on for nearly a year. If granted, the rule that Schultz's office enacted earlier this year outlining a process for identifying and removing noncitizens from the state voter rolls would be invalidated.

What the Media Won’t Tell about North Carolina’s New Voter ID Law

Here's a question for the media from Newsbusters' Kevin Mooney: "If it's racist to ask voters for a form of identification at their polling place, why isn't it then racist to also ask for identification before stepping inside a plane, or into a federal building, filling out a job application or opening up a bank account? "That's an obvious question that the Los Angeles Times has declined to ask so far."

Station’s Report Claims Vote Fraud Not an Issue in North Carolina

RALEIGH -- An NBC affiliate TV station says that "only" 121 vote fraud cases from 2012 show that vote fraud is not an issue: "One of the more compelling arguments for voter identification is the suppression of voter fraud. But for North Carolina, the number of cases of voter fraud reported by the state Board of Elections is minimal. In 2012, nearly 7 million ballots were cast in the general and two primary elections. Of those 6,947,317 ballots, the state Board of Elections said 121 alleged cases of voter fraud were referred to the appropriate district attorney's office.
