Hillary Clinton blames gutting of Voting Rights Act for her 2016 loss by hunterw

SELMA, Ala. — Speaking Sunday at the historic Brown Chapel AME Church, former secretary of state, first lady and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton suggested a key Supreme Court decision may have cost her the White House.

Clinton prefaced her comments by discussing the history of the Voting Rights Act, which was passed in 1965. The law required federal oversight of voting in nine southern states and an array of other jurisdictions that were found to have engaged in discriminatory practices. Clinton noted the law was reauthorized by Congress in 2006 while she was in the Senate.

“They found a receptive Supreme Court who came up with the most absurd decision,” said Clinton, adding, “They gutted the Voting Rights Act.” Trump defeated Clinton by a little over 22,000 votes in Wisconsin and secured 10 electoral votes with the narrow win. Voters were turned away due to the state’s voter ID law, but estimates vary about the precise number of those affected.

hunterw Hilary blames ... Who doesn't she blame. Trump does what Trump does but what does the email server exist in first place. In private business this will get you fired ASAP. Obvious! Rampage thru the Dem party destroying all other candidates in the Clinton's own interest. Clinton

hunterw She is right, but I blame the media for obsessing over emails and failing to vet Trump.

hunterw Why is this womsn still in the news?

hunterw Wonderful, I love that's she's still in denial. It's gonna make it all the harder of a fall when she realizes she's the only one to blame for her loss. Maybe she'll fuck herself off this world. Either way, I hope we'll all be there to see her undergo this mental breakdown.

hunterw Blah, blah, blah.....

hunterw She still thinks she can win with black vote. The reality she lost bc many white working class men spurned her in 2016. She should understand U.S still a white majority country as a whole.
