[irisblue]

• Thursday was the 50th anniversary of the signing of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, and McConnell recounted a personal story of watching President Lyndon B. Johnson sign the law during a chance visit to the Capitol as a young former intern. But McConnell said he did not see the need for congressional action to restore the portions of the law struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013, saying in response to a question that it is "important to understand how different the South is now." Said McConnell, "America's come a long way, and the Voting Rights Act is intact. It was not struck down."
