IN REACTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS RULING, MIKE SAYS: “FIFTY YEARS AGO THIS SUMMER WE HAD THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON. FIFTY YEARS AGO THE WORLD, THE SOUTH, ALL NINE STATES AND MORE WERE VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN THEY ARE TODAY. WE TAKE A LOOK AT NATIONAL ELECTIONS, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS…COUNTY COMMISSIONER ELECTIONS, STATE LEGISLATURE ELECTIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT. THOSE ELECTIONS WILL CONTINUE AND MAYBE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURES IN SOME STATES MIGHT TRY TO TINKER WITH THEM AT THEIR PERIL. IF THEY DO, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE TIDE OF DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE SOUTH—HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTES ARE GOING TO BE OVERWHELMINGLY THE MAJORITY IN MOST STATES.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
