We are dealing with 3rd-world banana republic style government.
Obama's DOJ is just another branch of the Obama campaign.
If a Republican had won in Minnesota under these circumstances there would be a DOJ investigation Faster than you can say Furious.

WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM reports:
In the eyes of the Obama administration, most Democratic lawmakers, and left-leaning editorial pages across the country, voter fraud is a problem that doesn't exist. Allegations of fraud, they say, are little more than pretexts conjured up by Republicans to justify voter ID laws designed to suppress Democratic turnout.

That said, Obama does not believe the same; the race isn't being investigated due to a simple conflict of interests.
Also, what you said about ordinary human activity becoming illegal is true. Soon enough, everyone will be a felon at some point in their lives.
"
Minnesota statute says that a convicted felon loses his or her civil rights, including the
right to vote. It also stipulates that a felon's civil rights are automatically reinstated
when he or she completes their sentence. Completing a sentence means that they have
completed all parole, probation, and any other terms of their sentence. This is also
known as being "off-paper". Once a person completes their sentence they have the
right to vote. See Minnesota statute 609.165 for more details.

Then I'd say consider your source and the so called NBP intimidation farce you Conservatives tried to instigate... Truth is you Conservatives don't have much credibility when it comes to allegations of voter fraud...
Your blog is a lie, I know that doesn't bother you though..
Race (although a humorous polling option) has nothing to do with it, slime comes in all colors and creeds. At least in this instance the ineligible voters used in the fraud actually had a pulse.
Felons for Democrats '08!
It actually was investigated. And Minnesota Majority was just plain wrong.
We have to move beyond our wanting to believe things and actually look into them.
County attorneys take voter fraud very seriously; there is no discretion for county attorneys in this manner,” Kingrey said. Minnesota Majority produced a list of more than 1,000 names of Minnesotans that they suspected of illegal voting.
“The list generated wildly overstated the number of felons that voted,” said Kingrey. “Many actually were legal voters; they were allowed to vote under Minnesota statute.”

Chances are that he does not want it investigated because he plans on using those same voters to win his election in November. Maybe that was just a test to see if they could get away with it. They know now that people noticed so they need to tweak the plan a little.
If you'll note, in most states, when you complete your sentence, you're allowed to vote.
Minnesota is one of those states.
Now, if these were voters that got out of prison and then were on parole during the time of the vote, they violated the law. Otherwise, I'm not sure how they voted illegally. Are you saying they voted while in jail? Are you saying they voted right after committing a crime? What's even stranger is trying to explain HOW these people were able to vote illegally. They were obviously still listed on the voter rolls as eligible voters. If anything, something should be done to look into who kept those names on the registry and why they weren't removed.
I'm not certain how voter ID laws would've changed this issue at all, though. Actually, they don't.

"Carruthers attributed differences in the numbers to Minnesota Majority's lack of access to nonpublic information, such as exact birth dates and other court records. For example, he said, "public records might show a felon was given 10 years probation, but internal records the county attorney has might show that the probation period was cut to five and the felon was eligible to vote."

The argument is about voter ID laws, and this instance of supposed "mass voter fraud" is nothing that relates to the issue at hand. Unless you're stating that ex-felons don't have ID. I'd like to see some proof of that.
Once again, the right conflates issues.
lol
Read the complaint.
http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/elec...
Here is how it lays out. Prior to republicans passing the laws in the complaint, all ohioans coudl vote early, equally. The republicans passed a law shortening the time for non military to vote (see less freedom to vote here).
The legal case is simply to go back to where they were. And allow all citizens the ability to vote early, equally.
No harm to any military at all.
This lie is so blatant, it's silly.
THIS is what according to the left NEVER happens. No need for voter ID laws. I mean we all know convicted felons and the dead vote (D), so why push it right?
Remember, the DOJ sued states that had the audacity to demand ID's to vote and part of the attack was that it was motivated by racism.
removed question, couldnt find story I was citing.
Of course he would invalidate military votes. He disavowed his closest allies to get elected in the first place...yet people still find Obama 'likeable'.
How powerful it must be to use the race card.
Conflate issues some more. It's ok. You don't know any better.

Ok. That has changed alot recently. I did my own looking and you are right in some states. My bad.
betting you dont mention me adding this part of my post.
