This could be interesting. If Congress creates a series of measures to determine whether a state, county, or city is complying with the Voting Rights Act, and it is reapplied nationwide using current data, who do you suppose could be found not in compliance?

For instance: documented instances of voter intimidation. We know of one in Philadelphia. Wouldn't that be ironic?

Sure, it could work in our favor now, because we control the house. Do you think that formula will remain the same if Dems get a hold of both chambers though?

This could be like the redistricting, giving whichever party is currently in power an undue influence on upcoming elections.

No member of Congress has the balls to stand up and point out that racial voter intimidation these days is far more black-on-white than it is white-on-black.
