Will u be able to vote in 25 years?

Question

The 1965 Voting Rights Act that opened voting booths to millions of minorities first allowed blacks to vote for 45 years...recently this law expired so Bush decided that he would renew it but only for 25-years....Whats that about? 25 Years is he serious....Thats even less then the first time at least it was 45 years the first time......And the only reason Bush and other Republicans decided to do it was to help get blacks support...Thats so messed up only 25 years...Im done with bush.,..what do u think?

Answer 1

Actually, you are totally misunderstanding the VRA. The only thing that the VRA does is prevent states from drawing district maps in a way that discriminates against minority voters and their voting power. Even if the VRA expires, minorities will still be able to vote.

Otherwise, I agree with you. The VRA is extremely important because minorities tend to vote together and politicians know this. So, if the minority against them, politicians will redraw districts to dilute the minority voting strength. This is not right. The act needs to be extended for longer than 25 years.

Answer 2

before I read the details of this question, the first answer that came to my mind was we probably won't be able to vote at all, black or not, cause bush will take this country over and try to make himself king, so he will never have to leave office and then he can make as many dumb rules as he wants. All I can do is laugh... what else can you do?

Answer 3

You have it right. Our politicians are soooooooooo lame. They don't care for the long term future of this country. Most of them will have died of old age in 25 years anyhow. Too bad that most of them had not died 25 years ago, so we would not have to deal with their sorry asses now! The best way to deal with them is VOTE FOR ALL INCUMBENT'S OPPOSITION in the next election.

Answer 4

Yes
