His position is that we should use things like DL photo ID to strengthen confirmation in voter registration, while his enemies (Kennedy, Fienstein, Pelosi) would like to weaken the controls on voter fraud.
Guy's a hack. He was put into his position in the DoJ to to hack work. He did it. Everyone who wasn't overtly partisan complained, for obvious reasons. Now he's writing for a premier Republican think tank, doing hack work.
This really isn't rocket science. I would listen to most Republican talking heads for hours before I would give this guy fifteen seconds.
However, this is all rather beside the point. Your entertaining strawman of me aside, my original post didn't mention a single thing about the source, despite its obvious bias. This article simply has no merit, and can be thrown out on those grounds alone.
