Trump ends assault on Texas efforts to fight voter fraud

-- BombThrowers: Obama's Department of Justice had four agendas:

1. Aid drug dealers
2. Defend voter fraud
3. Aid Islamist agendas
4. Terrorize police

President Trump's DoJ is shutting down another of the Obama DoJ priorities. Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch had cracked down on any states attempting to fight voter fraud. The Jeff Sessions DoJ has a very different agenda. The U.S. Justice Department said Monday it is abandoning its longstanding opposition to a key aspect of Texas' toughest-in-the-nation voter ID law, costing voting rights groups their most important ally and possibly encouraging other conservative states to toughen their own election rules with President Donald Trump in charge. "It's a complete 180," said Danielle Lang of the Washington-based Campaign Legal Center. "We can't make heads or tails of any factual reason for the change. There has been no new evidence that's come to light." There was never any factual basis for the suit in the first place. This was an effort to protect voter fraud through state intimidation.
