Delaware Honors John Lewis with Voting Rights Law | Dover News

Published 6 days, 3 hours ago
Description

Delaware just became the second state since the Supreme Court’s April ruling to pass a sweeping voting rights law, honoring Congressman John Lewis and standing firm against discriminatory practices. Signed by Governor Matt Meyer at a historic Black church in Wilmington, HB 444 empowers the Attorney General to challenge unfair voting tactics and protects voters from intimidation — even as national protections erode. Co-sponsored by Senator Marie Pinkney, who narrowly won her own election by 228 votes, and House Rep. Larry Lambert, who emphasized this isn’t about expanding rights but defending them, the law is a powerful state-level response to a shrinking national safety net for democracy.
