Tell Virginia's Congressmen: Fix the Voting Rights Act

The Supreme Court broke the Voting Rights Act, and it's up to Congress to put it back together. Virginia's Congressmen must fix the VRA coverage formula immediately to protect the voting rights of all Virginians.

Why is this important?

After striking down Section IV of the Voting Rights Act, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, "...any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions." The duty of preventing discrimination in voting now falls to Congress, and our state doesn't have time to wait. Virginia's Congressmen must fix the VRA coverage formula immediately to protect the voting rights of all Virginians.
