something barbara jordan fought so hard to provide.ithout the preclearance provision of the voting rights act, no one outside the local community is likely ever to hear about these abuses. let alone have a chance to challenge them and end them. now, it's not a surprise for you to hear that studies and everyday experiences confirm that minority voters are more likely than white voters to wait in long lines at polling places. they are also far more likely to vote in polling places with insufficient numbers of voting machines. in south carolina, for example there's supposed to be one machine for ever 150 voters but -- every 250 voters, but in minority areas, that rule is just often overlooked. in richland county, nearly 90% of precincts failed to meet the standard required by law in 2012. instead of 250 voters per machine in one precinct, it was more than 430 voters per machine. not surprisingly, people trying to cast a ballot there face d massive delays. there are many fair-minded, well-intentioned election officials all over our country
