Those gullible enough to be worried about their right to vote "expiring" probably should be encouraged to stay away from the polls every election day, hayna? Or no?

Seems to me that we have long since gotten it right concerning the “All men are created equal” part and the voting rights act is redundant.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 authorized the federal government to send federal registrars to counties where "local registrars refused to accept the registration of black voters"

Anybody have a list of the counties presently doing this? Anybody? Anybody?

Let me guess: You're from Northeastern PA?

(had a roommate from there who used to say that)

I had one black student tell me that after their right to vote would be taken away there would be a national attempt to reinstall slavery.

He swears to me this is true.

We should remove their right to vote democrat. In 50 years from now there will be many more black people in America, many more will live in two parent families and not only making more money but seeing a reduction in crime.

The legend that I find most disturbing is that Hillary Clinton is the “smartest woman in America.”

But what some fail to realize is that the Voting Rights Act was already renewed last year by President Bush in a morning ceremony on the White House lawn that was attended by the families of slain civil-rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the late Rosa Parks.

I'm sure Bush had his fingers crossed when he signed it.

After all, he and Rove tried to wipe out New Orleans with there hurricane machine and blew up the levees to kill blacks

“Voting Rights Act” is a redundant “feel good” piece of legislation that isn’t needed any more.
I would feel far better if the government spent their time and resources going after the fraud and corruption in going after the various boards of election in many of the heavily blue cities.
It took me 12 years to change my voter registration status in Erie County New York, because the party I wanted to be affiliated was not the one controlling the voting booths and the registration process. They lost my paper work 12 years in a row.

I was recently told by an educated successful black man that aids was invented to kill all black people.
He really believes it!!!!!!!!!!

The failure of civilization in our urban cores is profound.

We are genuinely faced with a large population of uneducated and semi-civilized (but quite well fed) Americans.

Add to that the growing legions of un-assimilated illegals -- no wonder ignorance is the new hip!

It makes for a stronger nation knowing that illiterates (of all races and genders) are allowed to vote.

WHAT is wrong with literacy tests? Hurts the DemocRATS voter turnout too much? After all, don’t you have to pass special tests, to carry a concealed weapon? What about the 2nd Amendment?

the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, ... guaranteed the rights of all citizens over the age of 18 to vote.

It was the 26th amendment that lowered the voting age to 18.

Amendment 26 - Voting Age Set to 18 Years. Ratified 7/1/1971.

The Constitution of the United States of America has been set to expire by the United Nation with the approval of GATT, LOST, and KYOTO. One down two to go.

The Dems exploit the Race Card for political gain. Nothing new here.
