Might be a case of "any triviality in a storm," might just be bureaucratic ruffled feathers. DoJ can show non-compliance on the 90-day rule, showing non-compliance on the others would be trickier. In support of the "it's only procedural" argument is the fact that the DoJ hasn't called any other states into account as yet, just FLA. And as we know from another thread, they only contacted FLA because DU's Cali wrote them a stern e-mail.

Good question. Here's another one: malthaussen Jun 2012 #47

Well, they can't appear to be partisan. Their perspective should be that of MADem Jun 2012 #48

Pretty much the same feeling I have, except malthaussen Jun 2012 #49

Maybe not, though. It could be procedural AND have a basis in voting rights, as well. MADem Jun 2012 #59
