and regardless... it's really VERY simple... this is a ruling NOBODY should have an issue with.
I mean, would you be happy if you lose your right to unreasonable search and seizure or something because of what your grand parents did?
Anti-discrimination laws should be broad and apply to ALL states, not just to a few on the basis that they did stuff 100 years ago.
There should be specific standards.
I mean, some people in the thread want to bring up voter ID laws and such as voter discrimination for why the law should be kept.
Ignoring the fact that this doesn't cover a number of states who have put in place voter ID.

Doesn't really make sense does it? Even people who think voter identification is a racist tool to stop minority votes, are very clearly wrong about the section of the law that was overturned.
Four out of the Five most strict states, do NOT fall under the voting rights act.
In general the voting rights act is a sign of most of America's self denial. By pushing all racism and pretending that the "real" racists are in the south, it lets most people excuse their own racism, and racist polciies of their own governments. (Not voter ID law mind you but REAL racist policies like specific minority targetting by police.)
