Voting Rights Act, we hardly knew ye!

I'd love to hear Boaz's take on all these election shenanigans, in light of the fact that we are not a democracy. I wonder why Boaz thinks Republicans are making so many changes to elections if we are not a democracy.

Perhaps he'd say, "It's to make sure we are not a Democracy."

"greenlights a last-minute republican gerrymander"

This is what I voted for.
--Boaz

It's interesting that whatever Constitutional argument worked to scuttle the Voting Rights Act in 2026, somehow it didn't work in 1965.

The meaning of the words in the Constitution itself must have dramatically changed during that sixty year span.

1. Can a white person be effectively represented by a black congressman?
2. Can a black person be effectively represented by a white congressman?
If your answer to either of these questions is "no" then you are the racist"

Can a white person be effectively represented by a Black President?
If your answer is "no" then you are the racist.

You answered "No," JeffJ.
The entire Republican Party answered "No."

"Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has been accused of relying on misleading, "fudged" data in a majority opinion that significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act."

We can't expect a Supreme Court Justice or his staff to verify crucial data on an issue affecting democracy itself!
You're also racist for believing that, by the way. Sorry, those are the rules now.

Separate districts, separate drinking fountains ... .segregation is racist.

So you're saying majority black districts made up of majority black communities is racism.
And majority white districts comprised of majority white communities is the same racism.
Those are separate districts, like separate water fountains, and thus racist.

So what should be done?
I guess the districts could be drawn differently.
Make the majority white districts have a few black areas in them
Make the majority black districts have a few white areas too.

By putting a Laser Beam Focus On Race, we can make the districting process Not Racist, Not Segregated.
There may have been a Federal Law which put in a framework that do something like that.
I'm not sure. Maybe you could ask a high school history teacher and get back to us.

You can't possibly defend your asinine arguments.
Not that anyone was expecting anything other than silly accusations from you!

Can a man be effectively represented by a woman?
Can a woman be effectively represented by a man?

90% of Republican Congressional Committee members are white.
85% of Republican Congressional Committee members are men.

Those numbers sure don't suggest Republicans think a woman can represent a man, but a man can represent a woman.

These numbers show a white Republican very often represent a black man.
but a black Republican only very rarely represent a white man.
