"Critics of Section 5 . . . point to high voter registration rates among blacks and the re-election of a black president as proof that the provision is no longer needed."
With Republicans openly saying that the more minorities vote, the worse it is for them, and trying to block minorities from voting, it is still very much needed.
There's a strategy behind Republicans openly saying things like that. It motivates idiots who call themselves liberals to stubbornly defend Democrats who act like Republicans.
Then how do you explain the idiots who call themselves conservative and back up and support with the Republicans who act like racist, selfish, greedy, assholes?
I see no explanation for any of it... I think politics, corporations, man made buildings, etc. should just be abolished and we should go back to the days of farming and hunting for wildlife like back in the day. Not really, but that's probably the only way to fix everything that's wrong with the country.

Sorry I don't buy it.
Maybe there's some unintended benefit, but not for a moment do I think that was there game plan from the get-go.
