"In its 2023 report, the SPLC cataloged the impact of that decision—Shelby County v. Holder—in the Deep South a decade later. This brief documents the impact of an 11th year without the full protections of the Voting Rights Act in the Deep South, a year in which Southern lawmakers have moved to further criminalize voters and the voting process, continued to attack the voter registration process, and fought to deny communities of color fair representation. The last year underscores the doggedness with which lawmakers in the Deep South, unchecked by federal protections, will pursue anti-voter measures, especially those that target and impact communities of color; each year it is clearer that these attacks are not slowing down as time passes. Congress must act swiftly to pass federal legislation restoring and modernizing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and instituting national minimum standards for election administration and accessibility— Congress must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act—to protect voters of color and ensure all voters across the country can exercise their fundamental right to vote."

🚨 Over 34 million Americans lack the kind of ID that growing numbers of states are requiring to vote. In a new op-ed published by Democracy Docket, VoteRiders' Legal Director Ceridwen Cherry unveils findings from VoteRiders' new research project in partnership with the University of Maryland's Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement, the Brennan Center, and Public Wise. As Cherry writes, the report's findings "confirmed what we at VoteRiders have known for quite some time through our work across the country: voter ID laws are wreaking havoc on the voting process, confusing voters and restricting the right to vote."
