Voting Rights Under Threat
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, is set to hear a case that could significantly impact the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The current case challenges the reality of ongoing discrimination, with claims of racial harmony being made. The court has been eroding civil rights laws and policies for 20 years.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act
Section 2 of the Act requires equal opportunities for people of color to elect representatives of their choice, aiming to end the Jim Crow system that shut out Black people from the political process.
The goal of the legislation was to end the Jim Crow system in which Black people were shut out of the political process, particularly in the former confederate states.
The Republican wing is ready to remove a key protection for minority voters, potentially dealing a fatal blow to American multi-racial democracy.
