DOJ's Late Friday Kinston Retreat Letter

Here is the DOJ's late Friday night filing with the court noting the full retreat on Kinston.  DOJ suggests that there was a massive shift in black election turnout between 2009 and 2011, and pigs fly.  Of course, as Hans von Spakovsky has astutely noted in his Corner post the other day, the 65% black share of the VAP was the same in 2009 and 2011. This is a thinly veiled effort to avoid having Section 5 struck down on the basis of an embarrassingly deficient objection cooked up by Loretta King. One wonders how many more messes of hers AAG Tome Perez will have to clean up in the months ahead.
