* President Obama's re-election campaign is getting increasingly engaged on voting laws, unveiling GottaVote.org today, along with a new video highlighting voting restrictions approved by state Republican policymakers.
* Americans Elect, after having spent $35 million for apparently no reason, finally admitted defeat yesterday and acknowledged it has no candidate.
* In national polling, a new Investors Business Daily/TIPP poll shows Obama leading Mitt Romney by three, while a new Mason-Dixon poll shows Romney leading Obama by three.
* The Massachusetts Democratic Party believes Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) may have "helped JPMorgan Chase seek a loophole in a law meant to limit risky trading."

* In April, the National Republican Congressional Committee narrowly outraised the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $6.9 million to $6.5 million.

Wow, that TN voting suppression @!$%# is disgusting. I have found a new charge, get the elderly out to vote (for whomever they wish to).
And also in NH the legislative generic ballot is favoring the Democrats as well, which is awfully nice for me to see, since many of my friends and I are running to take back the dreadfully dysfunctional NH House.
