Just understand for context that the Voting Rights Act since 1965 has always been, until now, a bipartisan bill. When it was reauthorized in 2006 the vote was 396-33.

All but a single Republican (Brian Fitzpatrick) just voted *against* the Voting Right Act (!) restoration bill in the House.

He did not vote against restoring anything; the voting rights act is still in place. Suggestion: Compare the new bill with the old & see what crap the Dems added that would make it both unconstitutional & objectionable. instagram.com/p/B5vgsRIJfzX/
