Noooooo...
VOTER FRAUD DISINFRANCHISES EVERYONE!
And what the left (intentionally) fails to acknowledge is that it is far more prevalent among Democrats.
Hmmm. Interesting. Politico has launched a pre-emptive strike against those evil Southerners who chafe against this anachronism of Reconstruction.
Read the whole article and you will find Josh Gerstein’s concluding sentence is the racism accusation. So predictable.
A very legitimate argument can be made that the SCOTUS should selectively trim the part of the law that just applies to some of the states, and parts of some states, unless strong evidence that they, and just them, have for any length of time especially violated minority rights.
That there is no legitimate reason to prosecute a law just against *some*, in perpetuity. As reconstruction ended, and the federal law again was applied to everyone equally, so too should this *part* of the Voting Rights Act end.
The Voting Rights Act targeted Democrat states for preclearance. The Democrats, the party of the KKK and Jim Crow, went underground with the disappearance of the Democrats and the emergence of Republican majorities in those states.
In other words, in the Southern states, real Hope and Change succeeded. The keeping of preclearance against those states is an afront to all of us who live here and we continue to pay for the past and present acts of the racist Democrat Party.
Without imagined victims the rat party would disappear. It is essential to their power to continue to divide and conquer.
I checked my online White Guilt Account this morning.
Balance: $0.
There is a difference between guaranteeing access to the ballot box and guaranteeing access to election fraud.
ROTFL! I guess you don't have to be very bright to write crap for Politico.
Oh, me, oh, my! You might actually have to prove you’re a citizen and have a right to cast a vote...
Heavens forfend!
What is the world coming to when Democrats can’t stuff ballot boxes with the votes of the dead and of illegal aliens!!!!
There’s a simple solution to this whole mess and it’s one the Democrats pioneered so they can’t say a thing about it.
Every time a person votes, a 4473 style form should be filled out, a NICS check run and upon approval, the person can vote. This is what is used to exercise RKBA... if it’s good enough for exercising one Civil Right, it’s damn good enough to use for the Civil Right to Vote.
This would guarantee one vote per person, it would allow better tracking for voter fraud investigations, and it would eliminate unknown and questionable ballots. Anyone that doesn’t support such a system cannot in good faith support such a system to purchase a firearm and they obviously support voter fraud.
There.
Fixed it for them.
The Democrats use this subject matter to scare blacks into thinking that if this particular law is repealed, then the right of blacks to vote would be repealed. A few years ago, I worked with a young black woman who firmly believed that. It was an election year and that was what she was told by some Democrats. She was very upset and angry that those terrible Republicans would try to take away the voting rights of blacks. I tried to explain it to her, but not sure I got through.
Those of us who wish to get rid of that section of the Voting Rights Act should argue that any party claiming that a state election change is racially or ethnically discriminatory would have every right to bring such a challenge in federal court under the Fourteenth Amendment's "equal protection" clause, which in this instance is the more just alternative to mandatory review of every relevant state statute by the DOJ.
the current issue of “Jet” magazine is trying to scare Black voters by posting this article. The issue is illegal voting, not suppression of minority votes. But to reactionary types this must be an assault on Black. They are unable to realize that illegal votes take away their legitimate votes.
Critical thinking should be taught and honed.

The VRA has outlived its usefulness.
What we need is an act that prevents states from leaving dead and illegal voters on the rolls. Voter registration lists need to be renewed as often as every 4 years. I would prefer that a person have to register for each and every election separately and in person.
