12. In my opinion, Removal of Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act, would allow

Texas government officials the right to call in armed militia to remove people from being in line, waiting to vote, in order to look at their voting papers or ID, or remove them from the area to take them to a lock-up, or just remove then from the area, and scare off and threaten elderly voters and and any one else on a targeted list, let's say you skin is to dark. Kind of like singing at a state Capital but instead, the citizen with would be WAITING in line to vote. Singing and waiting are the same thing to Texas thugs because they see it as you are detaining yourself (self incrimination); their prey.

Federal protection and poll watchers were needed in Texas last 2012 election.
