Delaware Honors John Lewis with Voting Rights Law | Dover News
Description
Delaware just became a trailblazer in voting rights after signing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act into law — the first state to act since the Supreme Court gutted federal protections. Named after the legendary civil rights leader, this bold new law combats voter suppression, gerrymandering, and intimidation, especially for non-English speakers. The bill was inked on the same day as the original 1965 Voting Rights Act, symbolizing a powerful rebirth of commitment to fair elections. With Delaware beating New Jersey by mere hours, advocates are celebrating — but they’re quick to remind everyone: a signed law is only the start. The real victory comes when every ballot is cast. Now, the focus turns to voter education and registration, because as one speaker put it, “a used ballot is a testimony.” The fight isn’t over — it’s just getting louder.
