Senator Warnock and Democrats demand voting reform on Voting Rights Act anniversary.

On the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, Senator Warnock called the push for federal voting protections a movement moment for democracy. He argued that the sacrifices of civil rights leaders are being desecrated by efforts to weaken voting rights. Other advocates claimed that the Supreme Court has gutted the original 1965 law. They identified the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act as a priority to restore those protections. Democratic leaders claimed that Republican efforts to restrict ballot access are attempts to steal power from the people. They urged voters to recognize that their voice and vote remain their primary power. These calls for action emphasize that the right to vote should not depend on a person's identity.
