💨 Abstract

Senate Democrats reintroduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, seeking to restore and expand protections under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The bill, led by Sen. Raphael Warnock, aims to require federal approval for voting law changes in states with discrimination histories, allow same-day voter registration, prevent improper voter roll purges, and offer legal remedies for disenfranchised voters.
