55 years ago today, a landmark piece of legislation was passed that prohibits racial discrimination in voting: The Voting Rights Act of 1965. In 2013, the Supreme Court took a massive hit at this amendment, allowing states to change their voting laws without federal permission. Since then, we have seen voter suppression, which has taken a particularly hard hit on Black Americans across different states. From Voter ID laws to closing polling places in predominantly Black communities, this is wrong on every level and a serious flaw in our democracy. Every day, Debbie fights for all citizens and believes that EVERY AMERICAN deserves the right to vote. House Democrats have pushed to restore key provisions of this act, and Debbie will fight with them.
