Why is it the farther right you go the more likely you are involved in voter manipulation?

The far rightwingnuts like 'controlling' things very much like the late USSR, Red China, N Korea, Cuba, Taliban and other like minded conservative thinking groups they have much in common with!....:Eek:

Rld, I am making the logical presumption that if various voting rights organizations, or liberal Democratic Party affilliated organization had any evidence that significant numbers of low-income or lesser-educated Georgians had been disenfranchised we would A) have heard all about it B) they would have filed suit.

Not to mention that Georgia prevailed in all its Voting Rights Act lawsuits.

My information is that so far there is no good data available. That is a far cry from the positive assertion that you made.

Just shows Georgia is not very Pro-Democracy minded!.....:eyebrows:

Texas as a "covered jurisdiction" under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had to seek DOJ preclearance.

This case sought a declaratory judgement that Texas had met the requirement of § five of the act. Hence Texas had to prove in the affirmative that the law would not lead to a retrogression in the position of racial minorities with respect to their effective exercise of the electoral franchise, the DOJ did not have to prove that it would.

The ruling from the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
