50th Anniversary Of The Voting Rights Act, Signed By Texas Politicians, Disrespected By Abbott.

From Matt Angle's Lone Star Project: Fighting Back With Facts.

The Voting Rights Act was signed in to law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. And President GW Bush signed the extension of the Voting Rights Act, in 2006.

IMO, Texas Attorney General and now Governor, Gregg Abbott, disrespects the voters and has dismantled the Voting Rights Act in recent elections. Keep in mind that women voters were signing affidavits to vote in Texas elections after the state has been assigning alias names to women in Texas offices, for many years.
