“The House just passed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This legislation is crucial as it will prevent discriminatory voting policies and make sure that changes to voting processes that could create barriers to voting based on race or background are federally reviewed by restoring an important provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It’s time for the Senate to pass this bill and guarantee equal access to the ballot box — everyone should have the opportunity to participate in our democratic process and have their voice heard.”
