Seems to me the focus is on Latinos.

You can't be for real.

Serious as a heart attack. I don't know one respectable person with a favorable opinion of Allen West.

Voting Rights Act of 1965, Section V. Google it and learn.
For the record, I am familiar with the Voting Rights Act; and the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U S Constititon.

All these measures were introduced to remove a system of organized exploitiaion; all of them have since been bastadrized at one time or another, by both major parties, for purposes of short-term political advantage.

Stink Progress is like the favorite right leaner, Townhall, that I like to use and this is just as much of an opinion piece as anything I post here from Townhall. However, just today I got ripped for posting something that came from Townhall. I must thank you for posting this one, however, because I hadn't seen West's words up to now. I believe I want him for VP more than before. Thanks.

Who are the racists you and ec are agreeing about? I think I know but would like to have one of you tell me who they are. I have heard West called a racist before even though he is a black man who doesn't like Obama like I don't.

There is one common denominator between the two that the far far far right wing (Tea Party types) hate.
What in hell is that common denominator? Just saying that there is one doesn't really say much.

People did die to get that thing passed but you keep on talking about it and manage to avoid parts of it that don't fit your agenda. Do you really think that people who are dead should be allowed to vote? How about illegal aliens who just aren't citizens? That law does not say that dead people can vote or that illegal aliens can't be kept from voting. Maybe you need to read it over one more time to see that those people, who Florida is trying to keep out, aren't included in the wording.

Shame on Mr. West.

http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/vot/sec_5/about.php

Section 5 freezes election practices or procedures in certain states until the new procedures have been subjected to review, either after an administrative review by the United States Attorney General, or after a lawsuit before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This means that voting changes in covered jurisdictions may not be used until that review has been obtained.
I see that you want to let anyone who wants to vote to do so but that law is just not to be used for every living human inside our borders.

Also you have used a link from the DOI to show what you want showed.
