Yesterday, Hillary Clinton visited Historically Black College (HBCU) Texas Southern University and received the Barbara Jordan Public-Private Leadership Award.
She spoke about voting rights, and called out certain Republican Presidential hopefuls by name.
Here in Texas, former Governor Rick Perry signed a law that a federal court said was actually written with the purpose of discriminating against minority voters. He applauded when the Voting Rights Act was gutted, and said the lost protections were “outdated and unnecessary.”
But Governor Perry is hardly alone in his crusade against voting rights.
In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker cut back early voting and signed legislation that would make it harder for college students to vote.
In New Jersey, Governor Christie vetoed legislation to extend early voting.
And in Florida, when Jeb Bush was governor, state authorities conducted a deeply flawed purge of voters before the presidential election in 2000.
we used to call that back in the day "kicking butt and taking names". we know what that Bush purge led to the right wing side of the scotus giving the presidency to W, had Jed not purged voter rolls i think it safe to say W would not have been in the position to assist in the 911 attacks by ignoring the threat and the thousands dead because of his wars of choice, does that make Jeb complicit in those deaths??????????? keep in mind Jeb would have done the same before he wouldn't have flip, flop.
