It would be interesting to find out how many Congressmen would vote to have their states that were previously exempt have the rules applied to them. It was OK when just the South was affected, but now will the entire country wish to live under the DOJ micromanaging their electoral process and preclear any changes?

I think not. I find it hard to believe Congress would pass such legislation affecting the whole country.

Blue states might take umbrage at being lumped in with those "racist" states, and resent even having to spend time and money going through the formality.

But I don't think they would have anything to fear from Holder or whomever Obama might appoint in his place. Obama wants to win elections, whatever it takes, as long as he has "deniability."
