"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General Eric Holder announced Thursday the Justice Department is opening a new front in the battle for voting rights in response to a Supreme Court ruling that dealt a major setback to voter protections. In a speech to the Urban League in Philadelphia, the attorney general said the Justice Department is asking a federal court in San Antonio to require the state of Texas to obtain approval in advance before putting future voting changes in place. ... Holder said that based on evidence of intentional racial discrimination presented last year in the redistricting case in Texas, "we believe that the state of Texas should be required to go through a preclearance process whenever it changes its voting laws and practices." In Texas, there is a history of "pervasive voting-related discrimination against racial minorities," Holder added." |

Does he also want to implement multiple votes per person so they do not feel as minority?

They are extremely worried that the new voter ID laws and district maps will keep Texas from shifting to D. I would say that with amnesty, and without voter ID, the state will vote Democratic for president within a decade. If that happens, the Democrats have a lock on the presidency.
You would not believe the political machine that has sprung up here in the last 4-6 years. It's an organized, pervasive effort to get minority voters registered and to the polls during the early voting period. Go to the church, get bussed to the polls, vote, and return for a free chicken dinner. The minority turnout rates during early voting used to be horrible, but it's better than Republican turnout in many areas now. |

PS, didnt the Supreme Court JUST rule that the shit that little faggot is babbling about is unConstitutional

I guess Holder isn't a fan of Texas barbecue and thinks Texas didn't invent chili!
Seriously, he is just following Obama's lead in trying to cause more racial division. |

I don't think there are any real Texans living in Texas anymore. I don't think real Texans would tolerate a Democrat invasion.

Preclearance itself(Section 5) still stands. But, without a new formula to figure out what now qualifies for preclearance, the concept is effectively dead until Congress passes a new Section 4. |

And many states in the NE have a very recent history of pervasive voting fraud favoring Democratic candidates. Whatcha doing about that???

"KeithC: The Administration has a history of criminal behavior against, blatantly lying to, and utter contempt for the rights of the American people"
And here's a real quote for you, CockHolder: "No society can exist unless the laws are respected to a certain degree. The safest way to make laws respected is to make them respectable." - Frédéric Bastiat, "The Law". You and your cronies think you're so fucking clever by bending the rules to suit your agenda because, until now, our side has had a terrible habit of obeying said rules. But that's because they at least had the appearance of being legitimate. When you push so far that it becomes blazingly apparent to even those deepest in denial that the rules are strictly a tool of oppression, God fucking help you from the backlash. History will caption your shocked picture with the phrase "They're not supposed to do that!" |

BULL. FUCKING. SHIT. You want voter protection, ID every voter...(Oh wait, can't do that because the poor can't afford a $15 ID? Deduct from their EBT cards then or give everyone eligible a free voter ID card.). This will ensure each voter's vote counts and isn't stolen by identity fraud. |

PS, didnt the Supreme Court JUST rule that the shit that little faggot is babbling about is unConstitutional View Quote No, the Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional to require preclearance for Texas and other states based on voting registration practices and numbers from 1960. Suprisingly, this incredibly obvious statement had been existing law since that time. Texas was required to get preclearance in 2012 because it had few blacks registered to vote and poll tests in 1960. Holder is indicating he is going to try and make the case that Texas is still so racist it must submit all of its voting plans to DOJ for preclearance; but he will have to use recent evidence to make the case. That is why he is bringing the case to the Federal court at San Antonio. So just to square everyone away: 1. Overriding states democratically elected representatives so that unelected bureaucrats and judges run the process by which they vote = justice. 2. Requiring a voter ID = discrimination. |

How odd it is to have a DOJ that shows open contempt for court decisions. View Quote That isn't the case. The Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 said basically "these areas have a history of racism and are covered by this Act.". Because of this racism, any area that meets the criteria of Section 4, is subject to Section 5 of the VRA (preclearance by DOJ). The Supreme Court invalidated only Section 4; because it was based on formulas that were over 50 years old. Hell, Texas was majority Democrat when the practices complained about were common. The VRA also has Section 3 - this Section says that if a court finds that an area intentionally discriminated against voters based on race, they are subject to Section 5 as well. Since the formulas under Section 4 were found unconstitutional, DOJ, several groups have filed suit against Texas under Section 3. Texas is viewed as low-hanging fruit because the Federal court in San Antonio that reviewed their districting plans for 2012 found the plans discriminatory. Not suprisingly, that district is also where these groups filed their suit against Texas. Texas made a motion to dismiss the suit claiming the groups lacked standing and that only DOJ could bring the suit. DOJ had until the 26th to put in their $.02. They declined to answer until today and then said "Looks good to me!". No big shock there. These groups have timed it so that they'll get a friendly decision and injunction from the lower court that will effect the 2014 elections; but probably not enough time for a higher court to overturn the decision prior to the 2014 primaries and maybe even the general election. Again, not unexpected. |

If all the preclearance states (or even a lot of them) escape the DOJ oversight of their voting process, the Democrats have a big problem. |
