Will Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act be used to protect all Americans?

My latest piece at Pajamas Media.  We are going to find some things out this week about how the DOJ enforces Section 5 of the Voting Right Act.  Will Section 5 be used to protect all Americans, or just some?

"Bottom line, if this Justice Department was truly interested in enforcing the law in a race neutral fashion, they could stop Brown’s discriminatory scheme for the cost of a postage stamp. A simple objection letter would prevent him from implementing a practice Judge Lee already has found to violate the law. Any other choice by Holder this week, other than an objection letter, will broadcast DOJ’s disdain toward equal enforcement of the voting laws.

Not only has the Department never lodged an objection under Section 5 to a plan which discriminates against a white minority, they don’t even conduct the analysis."
