Native American Vote-Suppression Scandal Escalates
South Dakota has devised an ingenious new way to curb minority voting. For decades, suppressing the Native American vote here has involved activities that might not surprise those who follow enfranchisement issues: last-minute changes to Indian-reservation polling places, asking Native voters for ID that isn’t required, confronting them in precinct parking lots and tailing them from the polls and recording their license-plate numbers.

Texas Gov. Perry calls 2nd special session on abortion
AP: Texas Gov. Rick Perry is calling for the Texas Legislature to meet in a second special session to pass a bill that would add restrictions on abortion.
The first effort to pass the bill died overnight after Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis’ 12-hour filibuster effort and disruptions during Senate proceedings as the session closed.
The announcement gives Republicans another crack at passing sweeping anti-abortion rules that would close nearly all clinics performing the procedure in the country’s second-largest state. …
Perry can call as many 30-day extra sessions as he likes, but lawmakers can only take up those issues he assigns.
