Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner called Eric Holder to complain that his Section 2 lawsuit in Texas will make it harder to “fix” the Voting Rights Act after the Shelby decision.

Lost in the statement is whether Sensenbrenner wants to “fix” Section 3 or Section 4? 

If he wants to “fix” Section 4, that means returning some states (probably not Wisconsin I would imagine) back to federal receivership.  That would be news, especially to the GOP conference. 

If he wants to “fix” Section 3, that makes more sense because, as I have testified to Congress, there are defects in Section 3. 

Perhaps someone can call and ask.
