Section five was a pretty effective check on minority vote dilution in these places. It did impose some burdens on state and roque government. I wouldnt local government. I wouldnt deny that. But they were modest burdens, certainly in comparison to the burden of actually martialing the expert evidence necessary to bring or to defend against a Voting Rights lawsuit. So i do think that something important was lost by the elimination, effectively, of preclearance spending, and i may disagree on that point. But i do think we agree that thats, for better or for worse, the main work that the section five preclearance requirement was doing before Shelby County. And i think whats interesting is the burden of proof almost always is on the plaintiff in an election case. So i think in most of the countries that we work around the world, the person filing the complaint has to prove the claim by the standard of evidence. And as weve all known, how does that plaintiff get access to the evidence they

Because i decided as we think people should have more of their ow
Majority. I think its going to be very close. Quest you think Jeanne Shaheen is going to win reelection . I dont know about individual races. Greg gorman sounded like a good problem solver. I dont know if he is bought and paid for like many people. Sounded somewhat senile. His responses were not always coherent. Right gorman was coherent. A lot of these guys prevail sometimes. In new somebody here york state running for governor. I dont agree on everything with but he isparty, bought and paid for. Its very difficult to break in congress because you stand for something and are not bought and paid for. The money is huge. He was in the debate, and that is on our website.

Candidates for governor but ultimately, if these governors or these candidates whose record is on its the governors or the candidates whose records are on the ballot. There is ample data to indicate that the vast majority of voters across the country are making decisions based on the candidates themselves and not on, you know, on president obama. The most recent poll i have in front of me is the cnn poll from last week that indicated that 54 of those covered in the poll were not trying to send a message to president obama with their vote.
