Kind of a surprise buried in this ABC News report:

In addition, Holder took Republicans to task for efforts to, among other things, enact voter ID laws in some states. He called such moves “political efforts” aimed at making it “more difficult” for “groups that are not supportive of those in power” to “have access to the ballot.”

“Who is disproportionately impacted by them? Young people, African Americans, Hispanics, older people, people who, for whatever reason, aren’t necessarily supportive of the Republican Party,” Holder said, noting that “this notion that there is widespread in-person voter fraud is simply belied by the facts.”

Holder said the Justice Department is expected to soon file challenges to restrictive voting laws in Ohio and Wisconsin, as the department already did in Texas and North Carolina.

“I’m attorney general of the United States. I will not stand for — I will not allow people to take away that which people gave their lives to give, and that is the ability for the American people to vote,” Holder said.

Not clear if this will be a new suit or DOJ joining some existing suits. Interesting DOJ was not a party to the Frank v. Walker case in the district court striking down Wisconsin’s voter id law as both a Voting Rights Act violation and a constitutional violation.

UPDATE: Stay tuned. This report may not be accurate.
