loquitor....correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt a consent decree from a federal circut court have some legal standing:
from my first post
...refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting . . . .
or a later modification of the decree prohibiting the RNC from undertaking any ballot security program without the courts consent.
I understand that it has loopholes that allow the practice by state political parties which is why I believe we need federal legislation.
