1. Kicked and recommended, from an article re; the voting laws, Nelson is fighting


http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/nelson-continues-offensive-against-new-voting-laws

Sen. Bill Nelson today sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder asking for an investigation into whether "new state voting laws resulted from collusion or an orchestrated effort to limit voter turnout."

"The Department needs to determine whether or not there was broad-based motivation to suppress the vote - and, if so, whether any laws were violated," Nelson wrote.

Nelson, facing re-election in 2012, has been hammering at the laws since Florida enacted its months ago. The law, which is being challenged in court, cuts early voting days and limited voter registration drives, among other changes. Nelson's full letter below.




Nelson's actual letter to Attorney General Holder is on the link.

Thanks for the thread, Freddie Stubbs.
