Can't have voter ID cards or be forced to use a drivers license to say who you are now if the state doesn't get you on the rolls so somebody else can vote for you they sue an agency your going to. Madness continues.
A federal lawsuit accusing two state agencies of failing to provide adequate voter registration services for people who get food stamps, disability payments and Medicaid will be fought in court, the state's chief elections officer said Tuesday. …
The lawsuit alleges that agency offices that grant public assistance have failed to regularly ask clients if they want to register to vote and give them forms to register.
"The voting process begins with registration, therefore it is essential that all citizens have unfettered access to voter registration opportunities," said Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

So put a sign up that says register to vote here. Course this is from the same government that illegally used ACORN to get votes for Obama. The corruption ensues

Just because you may not like that is the Law, does not mean they should be breaking it.

The State agencies are required, in the Voter Reg Act, to ask if people signing up or renewing, want to register. If they don't want to reg, they need to sign off that they do not. Only putting up a sign, would not satisfy the legal requirement.

Obama doesn't enforce laws he doesn't like. See DOMA.

Same old backwards South. Whites trying to make it more difficult for blacks to vote. How long has it been going on now? Nearly 150 years?

Did you even read the article? Highly doubtful..........

"Schedler said his office has asked the Justice Department for more details of the alleged noncompliance but was not given any. He said that instead, the Justice Department asked the state to sign a consent agreement conceding the allegation and setting out a way to address the problem. The state has refused to do so, he said
"We don't know what we are fighting," he said. "Show us what the allegations are."

Just more race baiting rambles from the left.

Hard to tell but do you actually have anything factual to support it?

Kris Kobach had a good article on voter ID yesterday though it addressed the new KS law:
