1. Kicking, but the obvious desire to deny a certain group voting rights are back firing

2. No offense, but this story is from 2013 and Jim Wright died last May. n/t

4. This is the second time I've seen this posted

People should really look at the dates on this stuff, I mean it's clearly there in the link.
