The Biggest Threat to Voting Rights

Members of Congress who refuse to update the Voting Rights Act pose the biggest threat to voting rights which helps protect against the discriminatory and prohibitive voting laws that keep marginalized citizens from making their voices heard.
This presidential election, voter ID will be required for the first time in 17 states, not including the two states that passed new, related laws this past spring.
If new case victories are upheld on appeal are not appealed, the number of states affected by these laws could decrease from 17 to 13.
In addition, there is on-going litigation in other states against voter ID laws that can also change these numbers.
