Voter Rights: History, The Supreme Court & Barack Obama

April 15, 2013


It can not be a coincidence that mere days after the Supreme Court heard testimony in a voter's rights case that Barack Obama issued a new Executive Order establishing an Election Review Committee. Some history is needed to make this picture more clear: the Voter's Rights Act of 1965 & 1995 National Voter Registration Act are both examples of federal oversight over state elections based on the federal votes casted in a given election.

In 1965, Congress took to task some southern states who were impeding on the rights of black voters by requiring a literacy test and other roadblocks, not to mention the violence of the mid-sixties. What is long forgotten, lied about & used by the far-left despite historical fact, is it was the very Democrats now lying about Civil Rights, who did these things. They were not done by "the evil Republicans."

The same Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and like Al Gore Sr, William Fulbright (who was Bill Clinton's mentor) & KKK recruiter, Robert Byrd, they remained Democrat.

Let's have a look at the vote tally for the Voter's Rights Act of 1965>>
