Diane – "Are Voting Rights Headed The Way Of Abortion Rights?" – The Root In other words, could the Supreme Court's extreme-right majority overturn national protections and allow gerrymandered legislatures to restrict voting the same way they're restricting abortion? President Obama warned us that they could. He wrote about "a decades-long campaign by conservatives to roll back the landmark Voting Rights Act (VRA). During my presidency, the Court's conservatives chipped away at the VRA's requirements for states with a history of discriminatory voting practices. In [Caster v. Merrill], they could do something similar nationwide." We're fighting back, Diane. (Of course we are!) We're working to help elect Democrats who will block attempts to restrict voting and other unfair election practices.
