The Washington Times' lead editorial lays out the shameful refusal of the Justice Department to enforce Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act -- the part that requires states to remove ineligible voters from their rolls.

That is, unless it's committed only to initiatives intended to confer political benefits on one party over another . . . .
