Still think election registrations are fair, and not slanted to one side or the other?
Fortunately, a NY state judge actually READ the NY Constitution, and struck it down.
THAT'S why Constitutions count. Because they stop people who are temporarily in power from loading the dice to keep themselves PERMANENTLY there.
At this point, the overwhelming majority of the Civil Rights Enforcement mechanism, at the national level, is simply not needed. They keep trumpeting cases of "Horrifying" voting rights abuse, that, when examined, turn out to be:
The Establishment Left didn't win, and they're PI$$ED!
That's it. In one Black majority area in the South, where ALL the elected officials were Black, the Office on Civil Rights refused to let them make some inconsequential changes to their election regulations. Because, at one time, White Democrats kept Black people from voting. And, because of that history, the elected officials needed to have potential changes PRE-CLEARED with the OCR. Even thought, as I remember, Black people were in the majority of those elected.
So Black people, who overwhelmingly supported the changes, were being told they were not permitted to do so. The OCR would make that decision for them.
It's all about the POWER.
