In January 2009 the civil rights division of the Bush adminstration Department of Justice filed a civil suit under the voting rights act against four defendants, namely, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Jerry Jackson, NBPP chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, and the NBPP itself. The lawsuit accused them of using uniforms, racial insults and a weapon to intimidate voters and those who were there to assist them. [2]

The case remained open when the Obama administration took office a few weeks later.

Obama and Eric "My People" Holder dropped the case.

What part of 'later dropped' didn't you understand?

Oddly enough, it wasn't re-opened until they could hand it off to someone else.

Like so many other things the Bush administration did. Make a mess and let others clean it up.
