"Protecting the right to vote, ensuring meaningful access, and combating discrimination must be viewed, not only as a legal issue - but as a moral imperative," Holder said. "Ensuring that every eligible citizen has the right to vote must become our common cause."
Uh, how do you know if they are eligible citizens Dumbass?
This is such bullshit, it allows anyone from any country to cast a vote in our elections, all you have to say is; why yes I am an American citizen.
What ever happened to being a responsible adult?
If you drive, legally you have to have a drivers license.
so what is the difference in casting a vote?
Playing the Poor me Race card is a tragic way to start off the whole election season, now their will be disenfranchised voters everywhere that do not agree with results of any voting that does not go with their ideals.
(Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, appearing at a Martin Luther King holiday rally in South Carolina, warned on Monday that voting rights laws are still at risk and said aggressive enforcement of those laws is "a moral imperative."
Weeks after his Justice Department blocked a South Carolina voter identification law it said would make it harder for tens of thousands of voters, mostly minorities, to cast a ballot, Holder said the principle of electoral equality was still endangered.
"The reality is that - in jurisdictions across the country - both overt and subtle forms of discrimination remain all too common," Holder, who is black, told hundreds of people attending an annual rally to honor King, the slain civil rights leader, on the steps of the South Carolina state capitol.
"Protecting the right to vote, ensuring meaningful access, and combating discrimination must be viewed, not only as a legal issue - but as a moral imperative," Holder said. "Ensuring that every eligible citizen has the right to vote must become our common cause."

Chavez May Strengthen Grip on Venezuela
Seriously , What else can he take Away ?
Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, after suffering his worst setback at the ballot box since taking office in 1999, may seek to strengthen his grip on the economy and undermine opponents ahead of the 2012 presidential election.
Chavez’s United Socialist Party of Venezuela, while securing 98 of 165 seats in National Assembly elections Sept. 26 after the redrawing of electoral districts, lost the two-thirds majority needed to pass key legislation by itself. The opposition took 65 seats and says it won 52 percent of the popular vote. Authorities didn’t release the overall vote count.
Chavez has experienced defeat just once before in 12 elections and could look to increase state control of the economy, boost spending on social programs and crack down on opponents to regain political momentum, analysts at Barclays Plc and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said.
“It’s not in Chavez’s nature to take this threat lying down,” said Ray Walser, a Latin America analyst at the Heritage Foundation in Washington. “He will likely take a retaliatory step.”

Discrepancies between the number of voters in the parliamentary election and last year's presidential election had already raised questions about Saturday's results.
Saturday night, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) announced it recorded a 40 percent turnout, with 3.6 million votes cast out of a total of 9.2 million eligible voters.
But in the widely criticized presidential elections of August 2009, the IEC reported 11.4 million eligible voters.
And the commission's website reports a total of 16.7 million voters have been registered in Afghanistan since 2003.
