The VRA loss is an opportunity. [View all]

[Recursion]

For people still smarting about the VRA decision yesterday, this is an opportunity.

As much as I hate to say it, the majority had a point: it's ridiculous that states still had to seek prior approval based on what was happening there in 1965. So Virginia has to submit to Federal scrutiny while Ohio gets a free pass.

We can come up with a much better system, and we need to, but we need a different House than we have now. And the fact that the old provisions were overturned before new ones were enacted means that will be harder to do. But that's why doing it is so important.
