Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II (D-Mass.) released the following statement after the ruling: “Our vote is our voice; the powerful right and sacred responsibility that fuels our entire system of government. While great strides have been made to ensure equal access at the ballot box, there is no question that discrimination persists across this country and demands our ongoing vigilance. “I am extremely disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision today but hopeful Congress will use this setback as an opportunity to come together and strengthen the Voting Rights Act for generations to come.”
