SELMA, Alabama (Reuters) - The U.S. government must make a top priority of defending the Voting Rights Act, which guarantees the right of ethnic minorities to cast ballots, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Sunday.
The Supreme Court is reviewing a ruling that upholds a provision of the act under which 16 states and some counties, mainly in the South, are prevented from making changes to their voting laws without federal approval.
Plaintiffs challenging a renewal of the act say times have changed since the 1960s, blacks are no longer excluded from voting and the act amounts to unwarranted interference in state affairs.
"We must commit ourselves to continue to defend the Voting Rights Act that is under attack," Holder said, arguing that the task is just as important as reviving the U.S. economy and fighting foreign wars.

Time for PHOTO ID too!!!
;-)))
Voting rights from this group of hoods is laughable.
We will never see another free election in the US in my life time.
ACORN is receiving billions of our taxpayer dollars and the census is now controled by the WH. plus the democrats get millions in bribes, sorry I mean donations from overseas.
I’ll bet if every person voted for O in 2012 he would receive 120 percent of the vote as compared to real voters.
Translation: We’re gonna make damn sure illegal aliens get to vote, too!
This is that turd Holder’s way of saying he intends to protect rat vote-fraud schemes in any way he can.
I’m waiting to see what 0, Corn-Holder, ACORN, and the boyz have in store for the ‘12 elections....I’m thinking full on banana republic, Hugo Chavez-style, goings on.
Our poor country.
ok Mickey Mouse....are you voting twice? Are you a US citizen? Oh...ok.....Acorn signed you up, then you are a legal voter!
“This is that turd Holder’s way of saying he intends to protect rat vote-fraud schemes in any way he can.”
Does that include ACORN?
Translation: We’re gonna make damn sure illegal aliens get to vote, too!

Yeah, every third-world low life scumbag that Obama wants to drag into this ARMY OF VOTERS will be insured the right to vote. Is it 2010 yet?? Is it 2012 yet??
Step 1 ought to be the appointment of a federal Grand Jury to investigate ACORN's efforts to commit and abet voter fraud by enrolling illegal aliens, creating false identifications, and tampering with ballots. Substantial and compelling evidence of such malfeasance has been already gathered by numerous election observers.
Step 2 should be the creation of a Special Prosecutor to investigate the applicability of the RICO statute against ACORN as an organized criminal enterprise.
Step 3 should direct the Treasury Department to launch an FBI investigation against ACORN's use of taxpayer funds to commit fraud in state and Federal elections.
Mr. Holder - we're waiting...
I’ve gotten to the point where the use of the word “must” in these grandstanding dog and pony speeches raises red flags. Everything is “we must”. Clinton was all over this ruse. I’ve come to understand that this is a conversational dodge, in effect, it pre-excuses failure and thus insulates the sayer from any conceivable recrimination or consequence for whatever outcome. Because if there is a failure, automatically, the next step is to talk about “we are reviewing our policies in this area and expect to report on ways we can improve our operations/procedures in order to address these issues. [”address these issues” being another cast-in-bronze classic liberal dodge]
The proper wording is not “we must”. The proper wording is “I am sworn to uphold the Constitution.” “I”, not “we” is the entity charged with the cited duty.
As to Holder: He’s an amalgam of race-baiter, incompetent, and sleazeball, and he fits right in to this aministration.
Toss in a great deal of Democrat gerrymandering after the next census, which the White House has said it will supervise with its own staff, and a general amnesty for all illegal aliens, and it may be that the Democrats never lose another election.
It’s looking more and more like we’re gonna have to vote with something other than ballots on the next go round.
Oh right, sure, you bet, he’s gonna see we get it right, uh huh.
“corn-Holder”?
Thanks for making me smile
Minorities permitted to vote. I should say they are...several times a day, in several different locations. And some are even US citizens!
They simply don’t mean for us to ever win an election ever again. I think that’s why they seem so unconcerned at the growing discontent.
I guess 2-4 billion year for ACORN will do the trick.
The way to beat acorn is to join them and then destroy them from withing, kind of like what obama and the rats are doing to our country now.
