Obama Urges Congress to Restore the Voting Rights Act

In a letter to the editor of The New York Times Magazine, President Obama advocated that the rights for all Americans must be “vigorously defended.” “These efforts are not a sign that we have moved past the shameful history that led to the Voting Rights Act. Too often, they are rooted in that history,” he said, referencing a New York Times Magazine article that detailed America’s efforts to roll back protection provided by the Act. In 2013, the Supreme Court abandoned a key part of the law that required states to receive federal approval before they change election laws. [Politico]
