One of the Republican Party's worst vote suppressors is about to become a federal judge
Republicans appear to have the votes to confirm one of the architects of America's worst voter suppression law.

The Senate is expect to vote this week on whether to confirm Thomas Farr, a lawyer who helped draft what may be the most aggressive voter suppression law since Jim Crow, to a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. And it is very likely that Republicans have just barely enough votes to prevail.
Although all 49 members of the Senate Democratic caucus oppose Farr, and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) says he will vote against all judicial nominees unless the Senate holds a vote on a bill intended to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Republicans appear likely to hold onto the 50 senators they need to put Farr on the bench.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who occasionally breaks with her caucus, says she will support the nomination. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AR), another occasional defector, says she “doesn’t plan on blocking” Farr’s nomination.
Farr helped draft a 2013 North Carolina law which combined many voter suppression tactics favored by Republican state lawmakers. A federal appeals court later struck down this law, explaining that it targeted “African Americans with almost surgical precision.”
