The ACLU sent this vote recommendation to the Senate urging Members to vote “yes” on cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and for consideration of Senators Leahy, Murkowski, Durbin, and Manchin’s bipartisan compromise legislation. The landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, which has been reauthorized, amended, and updated with overwhelming bipartisan support five times since 1965, has been crucial in combatting the persistent and widespread problem of racial discrimination in voting. The ACLU urges Congress to restore the protections of the Voting Right Act by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to respond to the current voting rights landscape.
