That’s a lot of acronyms and none of them bode well for the Obama Administration. A draft report from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which charged that the Department of Justice tried to cover-up the extensive involvement of high-level political officials in the dismissal of voter-intimidation lawsuit brought against the New Black Panther Party, […]
Reports of irregularities with straight party voting are coming in from across the country. Claims have been made that voters attempting to select a straight party Republican ballot have seen the names of the Democrats running checked instead. This isn’t isolated to Florida and Chicago. It could be happening right here in Mecklenburg County. PunditHouse received this […]
Editor’s Note: This should have been included when the column was originally published; it would have cleared up a lot of confusion and misperceptions.

A distinct possibility if what’s unfolding in Washington state ever makes its way to James’ county commission district in suburban south Mecklenburg. It’s apparently become acceptable and standard practice these days in the ultra-left state of Washington to have illegal aliens canvassing neighborhoods for votes to support liberal Democrat candidates.
