Obama Department Of Justice Inserts Itself Into Wisconsin Recall Election

The Justice Department, headed by Attorney General Eric Holder will be monitoring polling activities in the Wisconsin recall election of Governor Scott Walker according to this Department Of Justice press release:

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department announced today that it will monitor elections on June 5, 2012, in the following jurisdictions to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and other federal voting rights statutes: Alameda, Shannon County, S.D.; and the city of Milwaukee.

The Voting Rights Act prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group. In addition, the act requires certain covered jurisdictions to provide language assistance during the election process. Fresno County, Riverside County and the city of Milwaukee are required to provide assistance in Spanish. Cibola, Sandoval and Shannon Counties are required to provide language assistance to Native American voters. Alameda County is required to provide language assistance to Hispanic, Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino voters.

Under the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department is authorized to ask the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to send federal observers to jurisdictions that are certified by the attorney general or by a federal court order. Federal observers will be assigned to monitor polling place activities in Shannon County based on the attorney general’s certification and in Alameda, Riverside and Sandoval Counties based on court orders. The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours at polling locations in these jurisdictions, and Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.

In addition, Justice Department personnel will monitor polling place activities in Fresno County, Cibola County and the city of Milwaukee. Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.

Meanwhile, the Obama campaign's communication director was quoted as saying that "we have an army of lawyers" in the Badger State to "protect the vote" during the recall election in Wisconsin.

So what we have is a coordination of Obama appointees in Wisconsin to "protect the integrity" of an election? Attorney General Eric Holder suddenly cares about the Voting Rights Act?

This is the same guy who dismissed charges against the New Black Panther Party when two of its members were outside of a polling location, with one of them holding a police baton. While I would just laugh at these clowns, and will never be intimidated by anyone at the polls, I can see how others would most definitely be intimidated by them, and to dismiss the charges against them is blatantly partisan, and many are calling it a racist decision. Everyone has to come to their own conclusion on that based on this video.

So forgive me if I am skeptical of the motives of Eric Holder's Department of Justice, in choosing to insert themselves into the Wisconsin recall election, but based of their history, they care way more about getting Democrats elected than they do about fair elections.
