Will the Supreme Court Strike Down Race-Based Voting Districts? | Hans von Spakovsky
Description
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a federal law designed to end these practices, and ensure that all Americans could exercise the right to vote. It is a law that has had massive impact and been used to reshape America politically, in ways both bad and good.
