NAACP to challenge voting laws before UN

A delegation from the venerable civil rights organization will present its case in Geneva on Wednesday before the United Nations Human Rights Council, a body that normally addresses trouble in places such as Libya, Syria and the Ivory Coast.

"The NAACP can appeal to whatever body it chooses to - the U.N. doesn't run our elections," said Catherine Englebrecht, president of True the Vote, a tea party-founded anti-voter fraud group that's seeking to mobilize thousands of volunteers to work as poll watchers and to validate existing voter-registration lists. "It has been talked to death whether or not (requiring) ID disenfranchises anyone."

What is wrong with having someone validate existing lists and looking out for fraud....I think it's a great idea and you would think that all Americans would feel the same....unless they are, perhaps, hiding something?
