[quote=Anonymous]In 2006, the Voting Rights Act passed with a vote of 390 to 33 in the House and 98 to 0 in the Senate. 16 Rs who voted in favor are still in the Senate, but now won't engage at all in any voting rights issues. Why is that? Did something change? In 2013 Shelby v Holder, the Supreme Court gutted the provision of the law requiring that states with histories of voter discrimination get approval from the Department of Justice before they changed their voting laws. Immediately, legislatures in those states, now dominated by Republicans, began to pass measures to suppress the vote.[/quote]
