Hank recognizes the 49th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act

Statement

Date: Aug. 6, 2014
Issues: Arts, Entertainment, and History Elections

Today, we mark the 49th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Although the Supreme Court took a step backwards last year by holding that the formula in Section 4 of the Act was unconstitutional and could no longer be used, I remain hopeful that Republicans and Democrats can come together to fix this mistake and pass the Voting Rights Act Amendment.
