Please tell us more

From a story about laws restricting voters rights (from PBS, no less) this:

“This is almost unprecedented,” said Lawrence Norden, deputy director of the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program, which tracks voting laws and which published the analysis. “We have not seen this number of restrictive voting laws pass probably since the end of the 20th century. Certainly, this is the biggest rollback since the civil-rights era in terms of voting rights.”

Really? "Almost unprecedented"? Would that be something like a little bit pregnant?

And what's this about "since the end of the 20th century"? When exactly was the end of the 20th century? A week ago last Tuesday, wasn't it? Can't they afford calendars at NYU?

Well. If you want to read the whole story, it's here.
