The Supreme Court recently struck down crucial provisions of the Voting Rights Act – opening the door to widespread voter disenfranchisement – and yesterday Hillary Clinton called for quick action to guarantee the right to vote for every citizen in this country.
She noted that, “Anyone who says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in American elections must not be paying attention.” She continued, “Congress should move quickly to pass legislation to replace those portions of the act that the court struck down.”
This is a good start.
