Exactly what are voter rights that is talked about now?

States are doing things like aligning voting districts so that there are 70,000 in a voting district of minorities and 7,000 in districts of white voters. They are cutting back on early voting days, especially Sundays, which is the only day low income voters working two jobs can vote. They are making early voting weekdays end at 4 o'clock, so that fewer minorities can get off work to vote. They are making it extremely difficult for people to get the kind of voter ID they require by putting impossible requirements on them, like a birth certificate and SS card not being sufficient to get a state ID, but having to produce some other ID also. Or making the only places where you can get the ID's hundreds of miles from some people in the state.

Last year, in some areas they put up threatening billboards implying that everyone in the neighborhood was a fraudulent voter to try to scare people into not voting.

Only one party does this, and somehow, they think it will get them support they want in the elections. Many of us will never forget.

The Voting Rights Act was created because there were states with laws and practices that denied blacks their right to vote. It was later expanded to include language minorities.

And what the current voting rights controversy is now is that states are passing voter laws that disproportionately negatively affect the poor, minorities and youth--all groups that vote Democratic--with voter suppression results.

Some cry "voter fraud!" as the reason, but there is such a miniscule amount of in-person fraud as to be almost non-existent. And if in-person fraud is their problem, why pass laws to discontinue early voting? Or same-day registration? Or forbidding students from voting in their school state? Or accepting gun licenses as ID but not school ID? Or requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote?
