Voter suppression, two views

Josh appears to be relatively sanguine that the Obama team is on top of the "voter fraud" and voter suppression situations:

...Our own reporting has shown that in almost every case judges have shot down the GOP suppression gambits in the courts. Again and again, the courts have just shut them down.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to be pollyannish. This is an issue where even if the glass is 95% full -- it's not nearly enough. It's all about the 5% empty. But there's some room for optimism, especially on how rough a time the vote suppression crew has had in the courts this cycle.

Hope that's right.

Meanwhile, Greg Palast offers a more pessimistic take. If you're the nervous sort, take it from me: don't click through.
