Agreed, but that would be unfortunate because it should be 2000 instead. Florida election debacle, the start of frequent minority rule in presidency & Senate, GOP whipping up voter fraud hysteria to reject losses like MO Senate & justify restrictions, Bush politicizing the DOJ to enable them, etc.

Mostly agree, except Shelby County removes a constitutional roadblock that kept much of that politics on a leash. 2000-2013 sets the stage, perhaps. Very important that GWB's outreach to Latinos via immigration moderation fails during this period, giving rise to sense of demographic inevitability
