The voters win - three times!

Here's some good news - for a change!

Steven Rosenfeld, writing for Alternet, says "Voting rights activists won three big battles this week."

The first one, which we discussed in a recent post, occurred in Missouri when the Missouri state legislature went home "without taking up a controversial voter ID bill."

The second battle won was in Arizona where "The Department of Justice settled a lawsuit with Arizona that will force the state of offer welfare recipients the opportunity to register to vote."

And thirdly, is simply wonderful! White House crony nominee to the Federal Election Commission, Hans von Spakovsky, "withdrew his nomination." Yeah!
