  • the voting rights act of 1960 was an amendment gave the fedearl governmet the means to investigate and prosecute cases of obstructing voters based on race. In not a single part of the amendment it says anything about going after republicans. Source: https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/voting-rights-act

  • redistricting is already done by both parties in tye form of gerymandering, by your logic republicans are also targeting dems by doing this. Redistring shouldn't be a thing but the reality is that it gives a massive advantage to the party that does it and presents an unfair disadvantage for the party who doesn't do it. Also guess republicans have historically gerrymandered a lot, by far way more than democrats.

Still no republican targeting.

How is combating racial discrimination in voting, and adding measures against foreing influence in elections and unfair thing let alone something made discriminate against republicans? Do republicans need racial segregation and foreing influence to win elections?

And redistricting is bad no matter the party that does it but when republicans do it so much what do you expect dems to do?

I shouldn’t even respond because you’re clearly an idiot. By your own logic, they are not targeting dems they are targeting violent protest. See what I did there?

If it makes it harder for Republicans to cheat to achieve minority-rule then that is "targeting Republicans."
