The Democratic Party has recently taken to using cries of voter suppression as an attack against Republican elected officials, candidates, and policies. From limits on early voting to voter ID, Democrats are quick to levy the charge of voter suppression, but a professor from UC-Berkely recently held up a mirror to the country's left-wing and revealed an ugly reality.

Noel Johnson, an attorney at the Public Interest Legal Foundation, recently wrote a piece outlining the numerous failures of the ACLU and other anti-voter ID parties in Wisconsin. Beginning with the 7th Circuit's determination that Wisconsin's voter ID law violates neither the constitution nor the Federal Voting Rights Act, voter ID opponents in Wisconsin have continued to "strike out."

Marc Elias, the same Clinton campaign attorney behind the recent claim in Virginia that the simple act of showing an ID at the polls (not obtaining one) constitutes an undue burden on the right to vote, brought a federal challenge to voting laws in Ohio earlier this year.

Today, Representative Paul Ryan received the necessary votes to be elected the new Speaker of the House.  In a press release, the RNLA and its leadership congratulates Representative Ryan for being called to serve in this new leadership role.

Last week in a 2-1 decision, the Eastern District Court of Virginia, decided the case Bethune-Hill et al v. Virginia State Board of Elections et al.  Written by Senior U.S. District Judge Robert E. Payne, the Court upheld the House of Delegates’ redistricting plan adopted in 2011.  Judge Payne concluded that “each of the twelve Challenged Districts withstands constitutional scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause.”

Liberal distaste for voter ID requirements is nothing new. Voter ID laws have faced legal challenges across the country from Democrats cying "voter suppression." In states like Wisconsin, Texas, and North Carolina, Democrats claim that voter ID laws are restrictive because obtaining a photo ID is a burden which negatively affects minority voters. This claim has been repeatedly debunked,  so Democrats in Virginia a trying a new tactic.

Hillary Clinton proved again that she is lying about Benghazi.  A few highlights of the hearing. 

Hillary Clinton is joining Jesse Jackson and other liberal masters of hyperbole in claiming that Alabama's decision to close several DMV offices due to budgetary concerns is part of "the new Jim Crow."

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) obviously doesn’t think much of her former colleagues in academia. Last week she forced the resignation of a Brookings Institute researcher who disagreed with her about the costs of a labor rule she and the president support by claiming his study’s funding source conflicted his findings.
