Voting laws aren’t tilted against minorities

So tired of dishonest elected officials. Obviously I can’t be alone in such a thought!

I watched C-Span today to listen to senatorial comments on the proposal to federalize the voting process in America – a proposal in itself counter to our constitution. Lo and behold, there’s our senior Sen. Michael Bennet, orating from the Senate floor. He absolutely stated that our voting process in America is “Jim Crow,” racially tilted against minorities.

That’s a lie. If anything, a review of state-by-state law shows we’re pretty well balanced. In fact, after our 2020 voting fiasco, several states have taken legal action to correct discrepancies. For that effort, where changes were made in “red” states the social progressives are crying out because of so-called attempts to diminish minority participation. That is a lie! Nary a word of criticism about voting laws in “blue” states. Maybe a review of blue state voting laws should be undertaken.

Let’s start with Delaware.
