"The Voting Right Act of 1965, which removed the ability of governments to put in place facially neutral but clearly discriminatory practices, and in doing so ratcheted up Black registration in Louisiana until it matched White voters. This effect was immediate and enduring across the South. The VRA increased Black political representation." ~ Don Moynihan #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /7 https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-democracy-and-clarity
