Section 2, W.E.B. Du Bois wrote an article in the organization’s magazine, The Crisis, titled “Reduced Representation in Congress.” By allowing states that #disenfranchised #voters to maintain the same level of #congressional representation, he wrote, “this nation is putting a premium upon #oligarchy and a penalty upon #democracy.” Du Bois added: “We have at present only one legal remedy and that lies in the 14th Amendment.” ... ...A gift from the Radical #Republicans of 1866 to the radical democrats of today, Section 2 should figure prominently in the 2016 platform of any candidate or party committed to protecting the #righttovote.
