VRA
The right to vote is one of our most fundamental freedoms. The decision by the Supreme court last year to strike down part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 threatens this valuable right and could disenfranchise many voters at the polls. That is why it is important to restore the VRA so many voters will be able to be sure that their right to vote is protected.
Why is this important?
Making sure the votes of all voters are counted and that they are able to cast their ballots without difficulty is a principle of the electoral process that must be upheld to make sure our elections are free and fair. Attempts to undermine voting rights will only cause voters to question the validity of elections. In order to make sure future electoral problems don't happen a new Voting Rights Act must be passed to make sure our elections can be free and fair for future generations to come.
