In a letter dated June 8 to Holder, Wolf wrote that he could not understand how the department could drop the case.
"I worry that the department's commitment to protecting the 'fundamental right to vote' is wavering under your leadership. I fail to understand how you could dismiss a legitimate case against a party that deployed armed men to a polling station -- one of whom brandished a weapon to voters -- who harassed and intimidated voters, and could then decide such actions do not constitute a violation" of the Voting Rights Act, Wolf wrote.
"None of the defendants filed an answer to the lawsuit, which means that legally they admitted all of the allegations in the complaint," Wolf continued. "Yet your department dismissed the suit it had already won by default against three of the defendants."
