| Following the Supreme Court’s ill-advised decision to undermine Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement:
“Today’s appalling decision by the Supreme Court is the latest in a long line of attacks by the conservative Court, congressional Republicans, and President Trump against the fundamental right of every American citizen to vote. It upends generations of hard-fought progress in which our country has strived to guarantee equal voice and representation to all its citizens, regardless of the color of their skin.
“This case may have been brought by those who seek to suppress the votes of millions of Americans, but those schemes will backfire. Despite this corrupt and targeted assault on the voting rights of Black and Brown Americans from the Supreme Court, Democrats remain poised to retake the House Majority in November – when we will recommit ourselves to the ‘Good Trouble’ of ensuring that every voice is heard and receives fair representation.
“Whether it’s through legislation, litigation, or the combined power of people, we refuse to sit back and let Republicans and a politicized Supreme Court undermine America’s march towards a more perfect nation.” |
