Bush Opposes Re-authorizing the Voting Rights Act

Jeb Bush said he does not support reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act, adding that there’s been “dramatic improvement” in access to voting in the past half century, CNN reports.

Said Bush: “If it’s to reauthorize it to continue to provide regulation on top of states as though we’re living in in 1960 — because those were basically when many of those rules were put in place — I don’t think we should do that.”
