This bill, if enacted, would automatically put the voting process of four states--Georgia, Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi--under the control of Eric Holder's Justice Department. The bill imagines that there is widespread racial discrimination in the voting process across the country. The whole proposal absurd and outdated and likely was written in Holder's office.

The VRA IS racist and discriminatory. I am in such a legislative (Senate) district in TN, and it essentially means my vote is worthless because I am not Black, and so I have no voice or representation.

A Step Toward Restoring Voting Rights

---

Eh...when did voting rights end???

[Impy]

I want oversight of CALI to make sure illegals aren’t voting. Of course the NY times wouldn’t be interested in that, just to making it easier for rats to steal elections.

[The Toll]

Ah....the New York Times, always so concerned about what’s right for us here in Georgia.

[Milton Miteybad]

Nobody lost their right to vote. They may have to show a photo ID to do it in some states, but I think we can all agree that is a reasonable and proper measure.

It would be an ideal way to observe the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday this week.

I didn't know King was such a big advocate of voter fraud. How are the "minorities" signing up for ObamaCare without some kind of I.D.? More government fraud?

[The Toll]

Any Republican in Congress that supports re-subjecting four southern states to unconstitutional law is an Ex-Republican in Congress.

[P-Marlowe]

From a liberal perspective all liberals have the right to vote as many times as they wish in every election.

Any attempt to limit the election to one person, one vote is an infringement on the fundamental right of liberals to stuff the ballot box.

[sickoflibs]

IN 2006 the GOP congress under GWB re-authorized the voting rights as is with those punitive measures on ONLY the Southern conservative states, that SCOTUS overturned..

Look where it got them in 2008 and 2012.

If it's so discriminatory to have to prove your citizenship to vote, isn't is also discriminatory to prove your citizenship when applying for a passport? What happened to the right to freely travel wherever you want? (Assuming you can afford the fare, of course.)

C'mon, Justice Department, tell the State Department to put "its money" where your mouth is.

[Moorings]

If voting fraud is not checked, does that not curb the voting rights of those who are eligible to vote? Is this an effort to disenfranchise eligible voters, under the guise of “restoring voting rights”? When were the voting rights taken away?

[wiggen]

Times thinks voter ID discriminates. What morons. As if the very same people they’re worried about don’t need ID for a thousand other things.

[Lazamataz]

When the Communist Takeover is actually executed, the New York Times will proclaim it a “revolutionary, bold, and glorious step towards equality and fairness.”

[Artie]

“they would begin to restore justice to a deeply damaged electoral process.”

Does this mean that the dead actually have to show up to cast a ballot?

[txrefugee]

The Poor can scrape up their IDs for food stamps and other freebies, but only at the voting booth is this too great a burden. It’s very obvious that Democrats want to maintain their election fraud across the fruited plain.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

One of my rights is that my vote not be made ineffective by anyone's illegal vote!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

The Republicans supporting this idea must be utterly, totally rotten, thinking that they or their states can somehow profit from oppressing southern states.

Seriously, this is as repugnant as a “pro-slavery Republican”.
