Rep.Black: Support Voting Rights
Rep. Black: Support voting rights by co-sponsoring and strengthening the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014.
Why is this important?
My paralyzed son, who is a registered voter, had to spend several days and hired rides to get a picture ID before he could vote. It almost discouraged him. If he proved who he was to register, that should be good enough.
Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), eliminating important protections for voters across the country. But a new bill in Congress can fix the VRA and restore these protections. Rep. Black should support this bill.
