Voting Rights Act, that rings a bell.
The Republican congress under GWB in it's last year 2006 reauthorized the VR Act AS IS to try to get minority votes, of which they got none. Now Holder can use the law to force certain states to let illegals to vote, for Democrats of course.
During the debate over the 2006 extension, some Republican members of Congress objected to renewing the preclearance requirement (the Act's primary enforcement provision), arguing that it represents an overreach of federal power and places unwarranted bureaucratic demands on Southern states that have long since abandoned the discriminatory practices the Act was meant to eradicate.[8] Conservative legislators also opposed requiring states with large Spanish-speaking populations to provide bilingual ballots.[9] Congress nonetheless voted to extend the Act for twenty-five years with its original enforcement provisions left intact.[10]
Voting Rights Act 1965 and 2006
Great move Republicans! Don't get your hopes up if they somehow win this year.
Meet the Radical DOJ Lawyer Forcing Florida to Keep Foreigners on the Voter Rolls: "Elise Shore" is just one of her identities---and she's dressed like she has a night job on the DC streets.
THIS IS HER STORY----She came to the Voting Section by way of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, where she worked as a legal consultant focusing on voting rights, immigrant rights, and other civil rights and social justice issues ........ and worked using several identities to pocket multiple paychecks.
Under one identity---as "Ms. Shore" --- she contributed $1000 to Barack Obamas presidential campaign.
Before joining the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, Shore worked for more than two years as a Regional Counsel for MALDEF [Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund] as an outspoken critic of Georgias voter ID law and well as its proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration (which, incidentally, have been found to be non-discriminatory by a federal court).
She's said how heartened she was that the US Civil Rights Division had objected to the registration law under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. But her joy must have been fleeting: the Division later capitulated and withdrew its objection after Georgia filed a federal declaratory judgment action.
It will be interesting to see if "Shore" can calm her salivating Third World taskmasters---and put her politics to the side in her role as the US Voting Sections point of contact for all redistricting submissions in the state of Florida.
NOTE WELL "Ms. Shore" wasnt able to set aside her obeisance to the third World----and her MALDEF-style radicalism-----even after she started working for the US govt, and got paid by the taxpayers of the United States.
