Ken Blackwell quotes Alito. It's a grand-slam.
First, the background.
...Democrats sued Arizona in federal court over that state’s law that did not allow ballot harvesting by political activists, and a policy requiring voters to cast Election Day ballots at their assigned precinct. In June, the Supreme Court in Brnovich v. DNC held that those Arizona requirements do not violate Section 2 of VRA because they do not overall make it harder for blacks or other racial minorities to vote....
Here's the money quote which should be noticed by Legislative Pubbies in Wisconsin:
...“Every voting rule imposes a burden of some sort,” Justice Sam Alito wrote in Brnovich. “Mere inconvenience cannot be enough” to run afoul of VRA’s requirement that the election process to equally open to all racial groups, because otherwise most voting procedure laws would be illegal....
"Mere inconvenience" would be the result of getting rid of those stupid 'voting lockboxes' found in Madistan and Milwaukee, and eliminating "mail-in" voting altogether.
Tough toenails, tootsie. Learn to vote the old-fashioned way.
