George Will Is STILL An Idiot

VRA, All of It, Forever?
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the noblest law of the 20th century. Some of its provisions, however, are now weird—and worse. --George Will

George Will is STILL an Idiot
In the above referenced piece by George Will, he makes a couple (only a couple) valid points. But no matter how many 4 and 5 syllable words Mr. Will uses, he still comes out wrong in the end. Mr. Will argues that there are certain parts of the Voting Rights Act, at the very least, that should be removed or changed. He does not even look at the facts pointing to voter fraud by the state of Ohio and other states during the last election. He simply dismisses the evidence with these 3 sentences:

One reason is that prominent Democrats, with their habit of seizing their own party's jugular, present the party as a bad, although practiced, loser. They assert what evidence refutes—"disenfranchising" (John Kerry's word) "a million" (Kerry's number) African-American voters in 2000, and the "suppression" (Howard Dean's word) of African-American votes in Ohio in 2004. Such meretricious laments encourage some African-American leaders to strike familiar sterile poses of victimhood.

“What evidence refutes…” Really, Mr. Will? What evidence are you looking at? Obviously, you have missed some huge pieces, such as first hand accounts by voters turned away from the polls and others who voted at electronic voting machines which changed their votes.

Mr. Will lives in a fantasy land. Until he decides to join us here in the real United States of America, he should not be allowed to continue spewing his opinions backed by unsubstantiated claims in a major news magazine.
