JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MEDDLING IN LOCAL ELECTIONS
Tells North Carolina town that it can't change elections from partisan to nonpartisan. LINK

While the above doesn't directly affect Costa Mesa yet (you'll see why in the following paragraphs), the fact that the Justice Department is telling local communities whether to run partisan or nonpartisan elections can be seen as an attempt by the feds to virtually guarantee certain outcomes; and in this case, the election of Black Democrats.

As you probably know, Costa Mesa already has nonpartisan elections. This means that the party affiliation of those running for the City Council isn't stated. In a partisan election, by contrast,the party affiliation of the candidates would be clearly stated.

Partisan elections favor the party that has the most members in an area since many people will vote the party label rather than the personality.

In Costa Mesa, for example, if elections were partisan, it is possible that liberal Democrat Katrina Foley would not have been elected to the City Council since there are more Republicans in Costa Mesa than Democrats and many of the Republicans are conservative.

Thus, in the case of Costa Mesa, if the Justice Department wanted to do the reverse of what it is doing in North Carolina and forced the City to hold partisan elections there would probably be fewer Democrats getting elected to the City Council.

In the North Carolina case, where there are more Democrats in the city involved, nonpartisan elections might result in Republicans getting elected. So, by keeping the elections partisan, the Justice Department is giving the Democrats, and Black Democrats, in particular, an advantage.

Now, about Foley. In our opinion, Foley got elected by blurring the lines and confusing the mostly not-paying-attention voters.

For example, Foley bought space in election mailers with Republicans, and she hid her liberal views with double-talk, as when the whole Council except for Foley voted to sign and send a letter to then president George Bush asking him to protect our borders.

Foley refused to sign the letter but covered her soft on illegal aliens views by saying that she didn't like the wording of the letter and would compose and send her own better letter. As far as anyone knows, Foley never did send that letter.
