Why the AG won't protect election integrity | For the Record: General Holder's War - Video
Attorney General Eric Holder announced Wednesday that Vanita Gupta would become the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division.
Ms. Gupta joins the department from the American Civil Liberties Union, where she worked as the director for the groups Center for Justice.
Vanita has spent her entire career working to ensure that our nation lives up to its promise of equal justice for all, Mr. Holder said. Even as she has done trailblazing work as a civil rights lawyer, Vanita is also known as a unifier and consensus builder. She has a knack for bridging differences and building coalitions to drive progress.
Ms. Gupta joins the Civil Rights Division as it is involved in ongoing investigations into accusations of racial bias and police brutality motivated by shootings in Ferguson, Mo.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder claimed "vindication" on Tuesday for the Department of Justice's efforts to crack down on voter identification laws in the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark decision last year in Shelby County to gut a centerpiece of the Voting Rights Act.
In an interview with TPM, the soon-to-step-down Holder pointed to a federal judge's ruling that Texas's voter ID law was designed with "discriminatory purpose" and amounted to an unconstitutional "poll tax" on Lone Star State residents.
"We are heartened by what we saw," Holder told TPM. "We think it is a vindication of the approach we have taken. And no matter what follows, this is a legal fight worth waging. ... We couldn't allow the states to interpret the Shelby County decision as open season on the right of people to vote -- to have a war on the ability of the American people to exercise their right to vote."
The state of Texas is appealing the ruling. It is "uncertain," Holder conceded, that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the most conservative courts in the country, will agree with the federal trial judge. Nor is it clear what would happen if the issue lands at the Supreme Court again.
But Holder wants to send a warning shot to any state or jurisdiction that might consider restrictive voting laws: We will come after you.
"This Justice Department will use whatever tools we have and opposed any effort designed to impinge on that most fundamental right," the attorney general said. "We remain vigilant. We have the tools to hold them responsible ... and we are going to use them."
If the reasoning by Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos is upheld, the Obama administration may be able to use Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act to "bail in" Texas under the requirement that states pre-approve any changes to their voting laws with the Justice Department or a federal court. (The Supreme Court invalidated the formula used to determine which jurisdictions it applies to.)
Holder called the judge's scathing opinion "really, really striking judges don't use that kind of language. Judges are, small c, conservative when judging intent." Asked if the ruling would help the administration put Texas back under preclearance, Holder said, "We're not presuming anything. We're hopeful."

Eric Holder Claims 'Vindication' For Voting Rights Crackdown

President Obama plans to wait on nominating a new attorney general to replace Eric Holder until shortly after the November election, setting up a likely battle in a lame-duck session despite calls from Republicans to wait even longer -- until the new Senate is seated.
A source close to the process on Tuesday confirmed to Fox News that the president plans to wait until after the Nov. 4 midterm elections. The source said the administration considers the appointment to be serious and wants to wait so the nomination doesnt get mired in election-year politics. Democrats reportedly had asked the president to hold off until after Nov. 4.
But some Senate Republicans wanted Obama to wait until the new Senate is seated in January to name his pick to succeed Holder.
By naming a nominee shortly after the election yet before the new year, the White House would be putting his or her confirmation in the hands of some lawmakers who are not returning in 2015 -- and thus no longer accountable to voters.
Further, the White House would be handing the nomination to a Democrat-controlled Senate, despite the possibility that control of the Senate could flip to Republicans in January.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has warned that confirming Holders successor before a new Congress is sworn in would be an abuse of power that should not be countenanced."
According to the Associated Press, Senate Democrats had asked Obama to hold off until after the midterms so controversy doesn't arise over whether they will support a specific nominee.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the leading Republican on the Judiciary Committee that will hold hearings on the nominee, said Democrats are trying to "avoid making clear to the voters of their states where they stand on what could be a controversial choice for attorney general."
