Restore the voting rights act..

For over 50 years, the right to vote has been protected by the Voting Rights Act. In 2013, the Voting Rights Act was gutted, allowing states to implement laws that can suppress the right to vote, particularly in poor and minority communities. Demand that Congress restore the Voting Rights Act and give every American the right to have their voice heard.

In fact, expect to see the new AG go after minorities and make it near impossible for anyone who is not a land owning white person to vote.

There are ways to do that, unconstitutional of course but our courts will no longer have patriots on them so they are going to do what they want now.

Our chance to do something about the voting rights act and other things was on election day. But too many of us whined about a "flawed candidate" and emails.

Or had kanipshin fits when they saw a picture of Hillary with Kissinger. For THOSE reasons we now have the dumbest, meanest people imaginable running ALL aspects of our government and courts.
