Obama Accused of Trying to 'Nationalize' Elections
President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order Thursday establishing a Presidential Commission to deal with "election administration" that critics say is an attempt to nationalize the country's elections for partisan advantage.
The Executive Order states the Commission "shall identify best practices and otherwise make recommendations to promote the efficient administration of elections in order to ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots without undue delay."
The Commission will focus on polling places, how better to train and recruit poll workers, managing voter rolls and poll books, voting machines, ballot simplicity, English proficiency, and absentee ballots. The states--not the federal government--traditionally have responsibility over such matters.
Obama will appoint no more than nine members to the Commission and appointees will be drawn from among individuals with "knowledge about or experience in the administration of State or local elections, as well as representatives of successful customer service-oriented businesses, and any other individuals with knowledge or experience determined by the President to be of value to the Commission."
Election law expert and former Department of Justice official J. Christian Adams labeled such a Commission a "solution in search of a problem."
Which just shows you how little J. Christian Adams knows. I have already written that there is one and only one agenda for Obama's second term:
Mark my words: The United States has had the last truly free national election it will ever have - and it wasn't in 2012, by the way.
Update: But to what end, you may ask? Well this:
... to eliminate political and economic competition to himself first and the Democrat party second. There is no other Obama agenda. Not jobs, not economic growth, not anything. Emplacing permanent one-party rule in this country is the sole goal for term 2.That's why analyses such as The GAI's study that Obama has spent more than twice as much time on vacation as he has spent working on economic issues may be true, but irrelevant. You can bet he has spent a lot more time working on how to make sure that only the Left rules America from now on.

Update: But to what end, you may ask? Well this:
Sen. Diane Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum won a construction contract for California’s high-speed rail project, reports the California Political Review.And who was pushing hard in the Congress for the HSR in California? That would be Senator Harry Reid, D.-Nev. The Party is always in it for their own good, not yours.
