After losing his race for governor of Alabama, former Rep. Artur Davis hung his shingle as a DC lawyer, and now he’s recanted his previous opposition to voter ID laws in a very public way, saying that he witnessed instances of voter fraud during his political career, especially in the black community. Davis is himself African American.
We reached out to Davis to get details on the fraud he said he had witnessed. He declined to provide any, responding by email: “I know that those are the talking points that some groups opposed to my article have disseminated and I choose not to play that game with you or them. It strikes me as the ‘shoot the messenger’ politics both the left and the right deploy and I hope you will do me the courtesy of printing my reply.”

I don’t think I knew we had a Space Weather Prediction Center, but we do, run by NOAA. On Saturday, scientists there observed a Coronal Mass Ejection that they anticipated would cause a moderate geomagnetic storm when it reached earth. It arrived last night in the Western Hemisphere generating amazing northern lights as far south as Arkansas. Check out the pics.

Mitt Romney is getting pummeled today over a hilarious goof in Ohio today. Mitt showed up at a call center to cheer on activists’ efforts to block the repeal of SB 5, the anti-union bill in Ohio. But when he asked whether he actually was on their side … weeeeeellll. Take a look. It’s a quote for the ages.
