The Washington Post: “It’s possible there won’t be a single white Democratic member of
Congress from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas, and maybe just one or two from North Carolina, Tennessee,
possibly for the next decade,” said David Wasserman, who tracks House
races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. “The only case under which a conservative Democrat could win in those states would be because of a scandal or a national Democratic wave.” Once the dominant part of the South, Democrats saw their power decline with Lyndon B. Johnson’s embrace of civil rights reforms and the rise of evangelical Republicans.
It appears the liberal main stream media is blaming the Voting Rights Act for the political failures of white Democrats.
