GILLMAN The Dallas Morning News WASHINGTON - A revolt by Texas Republicans and other Southern lawmakers is threatening the Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law enacted to overcome the legacy of poll taxes and literacy tests. House leaders had planned a routine vote this week to extend the LBJ-era law for another 25 years, avoiding a potentially ugly eruption of racial politics. But a Georgia-Texas coalition of conservatives slammed on the brakes. Allies from across the South gathered Thursday afternoon to strategize and take stock of their initial victory - the cancellation of a planned House vote this week.
