Parties In Vote Suppression Case Revealing

Update: Feingold-Klobuchar-Ellison bill introduced last spring would implement universal same-day registration, look for it in the next session; no GOP co-sponsors

The attempted voter suppression by the Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is interesting in that those encouraging voter participation in our democracy are on one side, and those with a sordid history of voter suppression are lining up on the other side of this case.

On the encouraging-voter-participation side we see the League of Women Voters, the NAACP, the Democratic Party, teachers, unions, and civil rights groups including the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, The Brennan Center for Justice, the Campaign Legal Center, and Fair Elections Wisconsin.
