Hi,
In a country where the right-wing Supreme Court has given the president
“absolute immunity” for “official acts,” it is critically important that
every voter has the right to cast their ballot in elections.
Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and John Roberts were all on the right-wing
side of the 2013 SCOTUS ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act.
Democracy is under attack from the right-wing courts, and has been for
over a decade (at least) — Congress must act immediately to restore voting
rights and stop voter suppression.

The Supreme Court fundamentally undid one of the most important pieces of
civil rights legislation in American history with its 2013 decision. Since
then, over 100 state voter suppression laws have been passed, infringing
on the voting rights of millions of Americans.
This year, Thomas, Alito, and the other conservative SCOTUS Justices also
rubber-stamped the South Carolina GOP’s new heavily skewed Congressional
maps. The NAACP challenged the maps for racist gerrymandering, but the
right-wing court rejected the challenge.^1 That could open the floodgates
for more Republican-led partisan, racist gerrymandering.
We’ve seen what state-level Republican lawmakers, the House GOP, and
right-wing SCOTUS justices are willing to do to upend the principles of
democracy and stop people from voting. Congress must act immediately and
pass new, landmark voting rights legislation.
