==Insights==
In 2006, some Southern Republicans in DC blocked the 25 year extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. Even their own Party isn't happy about this blockage as it opens the door to voting requirements that could bring back the days of being denied the right to vote even with triple photo IDs.
