Despite occasional "victories," voter enfranchisement once secured by the Voting Rights Act, passed 50 years ago on August 6, 1965, remains under assault by the Republican/ New Confederate/ Stupid Party.

Here's how Republicans "celebrate" voting rights after 50 years:

The Republican National Committee issued a statement on Thursday praising a law that Republican appointees to the Supreme Court have hobbled and that Republican officials have actively sought to undermine through state laws that disenfranchise racial minorities. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus’s statement on the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act even contains a coded call for more laws making it harder to Americans to cast a ballot.

The Clinton campaign has a run-down on where the "well-qualified" Republican candidates cranks stand on voting rights, in case you had any doubt.
