The Left continues to push bad legislation to resurrect an obsolete and pernicious part of the Voting Rights Act — and, because this week marks the 50th anniversary of the Act, I can just see it coming up at the Republican presidential candidate debate on Thursday. So, as a public service, here’s a suggested Q&A for the participants:

Q: Do you support legislation to update the Voting Rights Act, since the Supreme Court gutted it two years ago?

A: No, I do not. No new legislation is needed. The Supreme Court struck down only one provision in the Voting Rights Act, and there are plenty of other voting-rights laws available to ensure that the right to vote is not violated. Those laws require people who think there is discrimination to prove it in court before they can get relief, which is only fair and which is the way that every other civil-rights law works.

The law that was struck down, by the way, really was unconstitutional, and is no longer necessary. Liberals like it because it actually encourages race-based decision-making, including racial gerrymandering and segregation of voting districts, and because it makes it easier to block voter-ID requirements and other ballot-security measures — all at the whim of a federal bureaucrat.
