Today, we commemorate the Voting Rights Act-legislation that safeguards every citizen's right to vote. The @CivilRights Division enforces the VRA through election monitoring efforts & strategic litigation to ensure Americans may make their voices heard!

Democrats NEED to be talking more about the GUTTING of the Voting Rights Act. MAGA is silencing voters and carving up Black districts all across the South to hold onto power. This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is NOT an option.

A day after the Supreme Court further gutted the Voting Rights Act, GOP-led states are eying changes to boost the GOP’s gerrymandering effort at the expense of voters of color, while voting rights groups are trying to limit the impact of the ruling on this year’s midterms.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

The Supreme Court on Monday punted on a fight over the ability of voters to bring Voting Rights Act lawsuits, dodging a major dispute over the landmark civil rights law that the conservative majority had already left on life support with a previous ruling this term.
