“As we await a ruling in this important case, let’s not forget how we got here,” said Ryan P. Haygood Director of the Political Participation Group at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. “Last year, the Supreme Court struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act which had been used to block the implementation of this racially discriminatory law.” Immediately after the Supreme Court’s decision, Texas announced it would move ahead with implementing S.B. 14. “No matter what happens in this case, Congress has an urgent obligation to act and protect voters by passing the bipartisan Voting Rights Amendment Act without further delay,” said Natasha Korgaonkar, assistant counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
