Dim Bulb: Eric Holder

Published



Who: Attorney General Eric Holder What: “It’s an attempt to show something, I suppose,” Holder told the House Judiciary Committee when asked for a response to the incident in which a voter ID activist — a young white man — was offered Holder’s ballot during a recent election.

Why it’s dim: Holder studiously avoided seeing the point of the activist’s visit to Holder’s polling place. Merely by asking if the poll workers had a ballot for Holder, the activist was offered Holder’s ballot, and so could have perpetrated voter fraud very easily.
