Jeb Bush Opposes Reauthorizing The Voting Rights Act

[UCmeNdc]

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Thursday that he opposes reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law whose protections the Supreme Court watered down in 2013.

"There's been dramatic improvement in access to voting. I mean exponentially better improvement," the presidential candidate said in Iowa. "And I don't think there's a role for the federal government to play in most places, there could be some, but in most places where they did have a constructive role in the '60s. So I don't support reauthorizing it as is."

2. Looks like ole Jeb ain't much of a reader and mebbe the poor feller

caint even afford hisself a TV set to see what's happenin' all around him.

Using his own argument against him; if he really believes there's no longer a need to protect our voting right, then pass them and see what effect that will have.

4. I wonder if "Jeb!" can alienate anyone else.

Given his numbers I don't think anyone cares what he thinks about anything.
