THE HILL: Rand Paul: No ‘objective evidence’ black voters being disenfranchised.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday that there was no “objective evidence” that black voters were being disenfranchised, as he entered a contentious battle over new voter identification laws in Southern states.

“The interesting thing about voting patterns now is in this last election African-Americans voted at a higher percentage than whites in almost every one of the states that were under the special provisions of the federal government,” Paul said at a forum in Louisville, according to WFPL-FM.

“So really, I don’t think there is objective evidence that we’re precluding African-Americans from voting any longer,” he added.

Nonsense. It’s always 1963. It has to be always 1963.
