Libya and SC Voting Id Ruling
Good Up segments today on Libya today -- some screw-ups there, but the Romney (& R) response still is horrible. The preclearance (for 2013) of a voter id law in SC, meanwhile, is telling. It underlines the value of the Voting Rights Act, administrative pressure and even if okay per a basic minimum, it doesn't make the law ideal or okay as applied in various cases.
