Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush came out against reauthorizing parts of the Voting Rights Act that were thrown out by the Supreme Court in 2013, suggesting he would resist bipartisan calls to reinstate a key component of the law if he became president. In an interview with TIME Thursday, Bush said that states like Georgia no longer need to be covered by the now-defunct pre-clearance provisions, while controversial moves such as Alabama’s recent closure of motor vehicle offices are covered by the provisions that remain intact. The interview clarified Bush’s comments earlier in the day, when he commented at a campaign event that he “[doesn’t] support reauthorizing it as it is,” which had been criticized by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. “What I’m saying is that, restoring this automatic pre-clearance process designed for an era of the 1960s is not relevant to 2015,” Bush said.
