Voting Rights Act

A portion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Section 5) requires that six states, including North Carolina, get federal approval for any changes to their voting laws. These states have elected minority government officials, including governors, for decades. Why does Congress feel the need to CONTROL these states, especially when in recent years the greatest voting violations have occurred in states not in this list? Southerners are accused of holding on to the past and clinging to the past transgressions of their ancestors, and yet Congress will not relinquish one iota of the power its holds over these states, even when the reason for GIVING THEMSELVES this power over 40 years ago has long been erased.
