US Rep Kathy Castor @USRepKCastor

After SCOTUS gutted key provisions of the #VRA, the late, great Rep John Lewis said, "In a democracy, one act of voter discrimination should be too much. It took nearly 100 years, from 1865 to 1965, for effective voting rights legislation to be passed." https://t.co/R4mHvjqrto — PolitiTweet.org

US Rep Kathy Castor @USRepKCastor

The #VRA became law 55 years ago, to prevent illegal actions by states that limit American’s fundamental right to vote. In 2013, SCOTUS in Shelby v. Holder dismantled critical provisions of the #VRA that opened the door for states to discriminate & disenfranchise American voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep Lewis later called on Congress to come together to protect access to the ballot box. @HouseDemocrats heard his call & passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act months ago. The Senate must join us in honoring the legacy of Rep Lewis by voting on this critical legislation now! — PolitiTweet.org
