Voting Rights Act 2.0: Now Featuring Extra Bugs
Sixty years after LBJâs blockbuster Voting Rights Act, Americaâs playing sequel titled 'The Modern Power Grab.' Despite historic wins lifting Black voices from 'just a few in 1964' to 9,000 elected officials, GOP-led states double down on new voting barriers under flimsy fraud hype. As Marc Morial put it, this is 'a modern-day power grab,' while Texas gerrymanders Black voters like they're auctioning off pet rocks. The John R. Lewis bill promises some oversight, but welcome to the uphill climb â Senate filibuster style. Apparently, democracy now requires a scavenger hunt for ID, especially in 'Black Belt' zones. Party on, patriarchy!

The Voting Rights Act just went through a reboot, and spoiler: itâs glitchier than your WiFi during a Zoom call. New 'common sense' rules basically tell Black and Indigenous voters to bounce. Democracyâs pulse? More like a political drum solo of voter suppression.
If voting was Hogwarts, GOPâs new rules are just Voldemortâs 'No-Muggle-ID, No-Vote' spell. Meanwhile, Black and Indigenous voters get all the fun of fetching magic documents from ancient, rural dungeons.
Breaking: GOP pitching voter suppression like itâs a deluxe club membershipâexclusive, annoying, and guaranteed to leave minorities stuck at the velvet rope control panel.
