Eric Holder gave a little speech in Austin yesterday on how he wants to rig elections. The venue was the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library and Museum.
How appropriate.
LBJ got elected to the Senate due to ballot stuffing in Duval County. So his library is the perfect venue for Holder’s speech.
Like all good Democrats, Holder sticks his head in the sand concerning election fraud.
[Holder] said there is widespread agreement that in-person voting fraud -- the chief target of the new laws -- "is uncommon."
Well, maybe most voters are not ineligible felons or illegal aliens or voting multiple times or had their votes bought etc. etc., but somehow enough of them are to help Democrats win in close races. But it’s “uncommon.” No problem here!
But Voter ID laws to make vote fraud even less common, why we can’t have that. That’s vote fraud suppression, I mean, “voter suppression.”
And we must make sure the right people are elected.
Holder reiterated the department's assertion that Texas "has failed to show the absence of discrimination" by not drawing new congressional districts that would strengthen the voting power of Hispanics, who fueled much of the state's population growth over the past decade.
So the Texas congressional delegation must elect Democrats through gerrymandered districts based on race. Never mind that Texas is an overwhelmingly Republican state. Only groups favored by Democrats have “voting rights”, not those racist Republicans.
As if that is not enough, this gem came up after the speech:
In a question-and-answer session with library Director Mark Updegrove, after his 30-minute address, Holder said that after taking office, he chose to reinvigorate the department's Civil Rights Division because he felt the unit had "lost its way."
In other words, the Civil Rights Division was not as Leftist and devoted to rigging elections as Holder wanted. So he hired some real winners. Hire after hire are Leftists with a record of opposing efforts to prevent vote fraud. Some even oppose felon disenfranchisement laws.
Again, Holder’s (and Obama’s) determination to support election rigging and fraud is in the spirit of that greeeeat man, Lyndon Baines Johnson. The LBJ Library was indeed the perfect venue for yesterday’s speech.
MORE: J. Christian Adams was in Austin. The money line of his take:
[Holder] said that voter fraud “isn’t a huge problem,” perhaps marking the first time the nation’s chief law enforcement downplayed criminal behavior.

I remember, as a young man, reading in the paper of the deathbed confession of the man who had played a role in stuffing ballot boxes for LBJ in the late 1940's.
Needless to say, given the hundreds of thousands of corpses and millions of shattered lives LBJ left in his wake, the old gent was reported to be distraught with grief at what he had done as a young and loyal party hack those decades earlier.
A small decision at the time, seemingly, in the 1940's. The stuff of tragedy twenty years later...
Thanks for your post.
