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. 

The state of Alabama is facing an $11 million cut to its general fund budget. In an attempt to cut costs, the state will close at least 31 part-time, non-state owned satellite driver license offices. This may seem like a rather mundane piece of news, but, thanks to critics on the far-left, the story has gotten national attention. The country's liberal wing, not wanting to let an opportunity for manufactured rage go to waste, has attacked the closings as being racially motivated and an attempt to keep low-income minorities from obtaining the necessary voter ID for election participation.  Jesse Jackson even said:  "Of course it's a new Jim Crow."

Localities in Massachusetts are coping with an issue facing election officials nationwide: how to finance state mandated election reform. Massachusetts, like other states, has recently set new requirements for extended hours at polling locations, early-voting, and pre-registration.

By now it should be recognized as fact that vote fraud is real and it needs to be fought.  Right before the elections last fall, no less than the liberal Washington Post published an article declaring that Obamacare, the signature accomplishment of the Obama Presidency, was passed by vote fraud from legal aliens voting illegally.  Now just a little over a year from the next Presidential election the similarly left leaning Politico declares:

J. Christian Adams has an excellent article discussing a recent speech by former Attorney General and RNLA Advisory Committee Member Michael Mukasey.  The article focuses on the extreme politicization of the Department of Justice under the Obama Administration.  

This summer, the Center For Medical Progress released video footage of Planned Parenthood executives seemingly discussing the sale of baby body parts. Since the release of the first video, there has been a steady stream of new, equally unsettling, footage. Republicans in Congress have taken the allegations against Planned Parenthood seriously and areendeavoring to find out which laws may have been broken and how culpable various Planned Parenthood executives may be.

The RNLA is pleased to announce the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley will address our October DC Luncheon.
