It was wonderful in 2013 when the Supreme Court finally decided that racism was over, and as a gesture of their goodwill, struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, the part that said states like Mississippi and Alabama have to ask permission before changing voting rules to hurt minorities, not that they would ever do anything like that. It's not like those states (or any of the other states) have any sort of history of institutionalized racism or anything! Of course, the intention of that SCOTUS ruling was to have Congress go in and "update" that section, to bring it more in line with 2015 racism, as opposed to 1965 racism. Which brings us to Chuck Grassley, Republican senator of Iowa!
"modern version of literacy tests and poll taxes, but they just need to talk to Sen. Grassley,"When do they start requiring literacy testing for members of Congress?
Voting regulations for federal offices is within Congress' power.
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.But SCOTUS decided Congress didn't have the balls to repeal VRA Section 4 so did them a solid because, as unelected judges, they know best how to run a democracy.
I'm a white and cannot wait to be a minority!! We've fucked some things up...and have been allowed to keep making the same mistakes over and over...even encouraged to do so. Mergatroid!
I was once refused service at a bar because the bouncer didn't think I looked enough like my driver's license photo. So...I guess the lesson is no system is perfect.
Factual history, just like facts on climate, are contrary to the dogma of "conservatives" and will be ignored, even as they're up to their waists in sea water at Disney World.
We like our WASP country jus the way it is, boy.
Assume Grassley's brain dead.
Just goes to show that Analrapist Dr Tobias Funke Manhattan was right: NOTHING EVER ENDS.http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/s...

Of course it wouldn't be an imposition if everyone was just supplied IDs for free.
Oh right that's government over reach.
Well how about upping our education system so that more people are literate.
Haha! What am I? A Commie?!
You mean like with photo EBT cards?
I forgot, when do whites become a minority in Texas again?
It's a job requirement.
Not soon enough, nounverb, not soon enough.
We have to protect against pataphysical problems.
And Republicans aren't nervous about that at all, because their system is so fair to minorities dontcha know.

What he means to say is that minorities tend to vote Democrat and we don't want to encourage any more of that!
