House Republicans face a political dilemma as they consider how — and whether — to rewrite the Voting Rights Act after the Supreme Court neutered some of its most powerful provisions last week.
Failing to act would undermine the party’s efforts to reach out to minority voters and potentially prompt a backlash that drives up Democratic turnout. But passing any law that reinstates federal preclearance of voting laws in some states would face a bruising battle in Congress.
Lawmakers in any affected states would be almost certain to protest a rewrite, while Democrats have an incentive to insist on the broadest possible bill.
Even with the difficult politics, Republicans seem willing to try.
The GOP doesn't care about undermining its efforts to reach out to minority voters. Heck, those efforts have been non-starters anyways. They talked about doing something, their base freaked out at all that talk, and nothing has been done. If anything, Republicans have gone backwards.
This article does point out that Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner is pushing for an update of the law, and that Majority Leader Eric Cantor has certainly said the right things after marching in Selma with Rep. John Lewis.
But that's two (establishment) Republicans swimming in a sea of teabaggers. Even assuming they're being genuine in their desire to update the law, it's clear their party has no interest in doing anything that might threaten their hold on power.
This is a party under demographic and ideological attack. The only way they retain power into the future is by using the machinery of democracy to grant them advantages—whether it's gerrymandering congressional seats, or keeping the "wrong" people from voting.
