A Tweet for the Ages: North Carolina Ended Sunday Voting Because Blacks Were Voting Too Much

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion ending the key section of the Voting Rights Act, saying it wasn't needed in the South because no more racism! He's not that stupid.

LBJ gave away the South for generations. Worth it for the
black vote? Yeah, if we can keep it. And that's not a given.

The Tweet says it all, 2016:

North Carolina GOP eliminated Sunday voting because "counties with Sunday voting were disproportionately black and Democratic" pic.twitter.com/G55KWY9EKD

Even with Scalia gone, the Supremes can't be counted on to restore the franchise.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
