New interpretation of voting rights
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ultra-conservatives and a few other fringe activists have come up with a new interpretation of voting rights. They claim there is NO right to vote in the U.S. Constitution. Who knew?
It’s right there in the 15th, 19th and 26th amendments to the Constitution, which declare that the “right to vote” shall not be infringed because of race, sex or age. If there were no right to vote, it couldn’t be infringed upon, could it? These must be folks who believe that only a select few — people like them — should be allowed to have the franchise.

Should Congress get involved? Do we need a true playoff system? Were the Dogs robbed?
