New Jersey says it was a computer glitch. Harmeet Dhillon says: prove it. That’s the standoff now playing out between the Justice Department and Governor Mikie Sherrill, and it isn’t going away quietly. Dhillon, the DOJ’s top civil rights official, has given Sherrill five business days to hand over detailed records on some 6,600 people who ended up on New Jersey’s voter rolls after telling the state, in plain terms, that they weren’t citizens.

Washington is closing in on “The View.” Federal regulators are nearing a decision that could brand the ABC daytime show what it has never officially been called: entertainment, not news. That distinction sounds small. It isn’t. It could force ABC to hand equal airtime to political candidates every time the ladies at the table take a side — which is often.
