This right here is why I hate the Republican party. Just listen to what one of their main dudes is saying. This sounds like the shit Dingy Harry or Stretch Pelosi would be spinning...

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN--During a filibuster-style radio interview in Milwaukee Friday, senior Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner (Wisconsin) charged that the State of Texas as a whole had a tendency to discriminate against minority voters and should be placed back under Holder Justice Department supervision thanks to his proposed legislation.

After the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act—a policy that held a number of southern states like Texas and other jurisdictions structurally discriminatory toward minorities until proven otherwise—Rep. Sensenbrenner vowed to revive the law.

When pressed to justify his desire to again empower the Justice Department, he labeled Texas and Georgia as prime examples of statewide, structural discrimination against minority voters.

“Texas and Georgia are the two worst,” Rep. Sensenbrenner argued. “Texas and Georgia haven’t gotten the message.”

Rep. Sensenbrenner’s assertion that Texas is one of the “worst” involves sporadic instances of counties or voting jurisdictions not having adequate supply of foreign language ballots for an election. Out of Texas’ 254 counties, only seven instances have occurred in 15 years. According to Rep. Sensenbrenner’s interview, such instances justify his labeling the entire state as being discriminatory.

Former Justice Department attorney and whistleblower J. Christian Adams broke down the harsh realities that would arise, should Rep. Sensenbrenner and the organized left pass his legislation.

“[Rep. Sensenbrenner’s] bill would empower corrupt leftist bureaucrats to manipulate or block state election integrity laws. The reason the left is so keen to have Mr. Sensenbrenner’s bill pass is because they know how partisan voting rights enforcement has become at DOJ. His bill will be used to help turn Texas blue if it passes. It will be used to erode the Constitutional balance of power the states have over their own elections.”

When pressed to address a recent interview with James O’Keefe at a constituent meeting about how his legislation would strip voter protections from white voters, Rep. Sensenbrenner echoed sentiments of O’Keefe’s progressive detractors.

“Mr. O’Keefe is very good at cutting and pasting. He is very good at putting up misleading stuff, he’s gotten in trouble repeatedly,” Sensenbrenner said.

Did that horse's rear end Sensenbrenner happen to say even a discouraging word about Democrat voter fraud and illegals voting?

Why must the Republicans constantly turn and rend one another like this?

That's positively slanderous. What is his evidence for such an outrageous claim?

And, WTH on the "foreign language ballots". Why would we have anything foreign in a domestic vote? What the hell is he talking about?
