Taking away the Voting Rights Act will be met with a backlash

The Republicans are pushing trying to get rid of the Voting Rights Act.

If this is what they are thinking, they are making a monumental mistake. The right to vote is not cherished by African Americans alone, and the attack on that right has not been launched against African Americans alone. Over the past two years, Latinos, Asians, students, the disabled have all experienced first hand what these attacks look like. We have seen the lines, we have seen the intimidation, and we have seen the attempt to suppress the vote. Minorities answered all of that - by voting in overwhelming numbers, by standing in day-long lines, and by making our voices hard. The GOP's attempt to suppress the vote backfired.
