I have gotten to the point where I truly experience a visceral reaction anytime I hear or read someone in any way seek to mitigate instances of voter intimidation and suppression. I feel driven to the edge of sanity when I hear it from another “Liberal”.

The Voting Rights Act made it unlawful for minorities to receive disparate treatment by any election process -- no willful or negligent act need be found to have occurred -- a disparate circumstance or result is sufficient for violation.

There's a summary of the Voting Rights Act at this link:

So I’m sorry, but “a few isolate shenanigans” are not okay. We tried that sh*t in 2000, and we ain’t gonna let that sh*t ride this time around. What we have here is prima facie evidence of what’s called a pattern of behavior. The Justice Department should be all over this.

I never read Kos that often anyway. I’ll likely visit even less often…
