Will Mississippi be sued over voting fraud?

The Washington Times had an interesting editorial suggesting Mississippi might be one of the states targeted by a private lawsuit over potential voter fraud.

The dead voters may be forced back into their graves.

16 states will start receiving official "notice letters" from [whistleblowing former U.S. Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams] warning of coming private-action lawsuits to compel them to enforce these particular provisions of the law. This appears to mean that the Justice Department is refusing to make states comply with federal voter-verification laws - which is why the task will fall to Mr. Adams, helping represent private citizens whose legal votes otherwise would be diluted in value by fraudulent votes.

The evidence adduced by Mr. Adams, who resigned in protest from the Obama Justice Department, is so stark as to beg the question of how the department could miss it other than by deliberately, lawlessly ignoring it.

Mr. Adams' notice letters report that South Dakota, for example, has 17 counties with more registered voters than there are citizens of voting age living there. Mississippi has 17 such counties. Alabama has seven, and Indiana, Kentucky and Texas have 12 each. Most of the states threatened with suits have reported no cleaning of their voter lists for years.

Along those lines, Mr. Adams' missives also include Freedom of Information Act requests for the lists of federal felony convictions that the federal "motor voter" law requires the Justice Department to provide to election officials in each state. The direct intent of the requirement is to enable states that ban felon voting to scrub those names from their registration lists. The implication from Mr. Adams is that the Justice Department is ignoring that part of the law, too.
