House Democrats Pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act, Face MAGA Republican Opposition
Aug 24, 2024, 01:01 PM
House Democrats have passed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, aiming to modernize and restore key protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This legislative effort seeks to address voter suppression measures that have emerged following the Supreme Court's weakening of the original act. Despite the passage in the House, the bill faces opposition from Republicans, particularly those aligned with the MAGA movement, hindering its progress into law. The act is named in honor of the late civil rights leader, John Lewis, and represents a continued commitment to safeguarding voting rights in the United States. The passage of the act in 2021 marked a significant step in continuing the legacy of the heroes of Selma.
