Headline:  GOP Senate Candidate Suggests The Voting Rights Act Of 1965 Should Be Overturned

Soon we're sure to be followed by: GOP Senate Candidate Suggests the Civil Rights Act Be Overturned. The Voting Rights Act was built on the Civil Rights Act.  It stands to reason they oppose that too.  It is after all opposition to that law that the modern Republican party exploited to take over the south from Democrats and with the racist Confederate flag crowd, build their base.  To this day the political and philosophical power base of the Republican party is the confederate south.  If you're not sure, spend some time there, tell us if you don't see white people flying the confederate flag instead of the American flag on a mass scale.  You think the headline we predict next is outrageous?  Trying to overturn the act that ensured blacks had the right to vote then - while actively working to prevent blacks from voting now - is just as bad.
