League Question: How do you believe the Voting Rights Act should be amended in the light of the US Supreme Court actions?

By Janis C. Brooks

Candidate for US Representative; Pennsylvania Congressional District; District 14; Democratic Party

This information is provided by the candidate
Since we can no longer use the old formulas of section 4 and should not lose ground; we should reinstate section 4 with formulas based on the percentage of current minorities of color able to vote. If the voting falls below the percentage in the region; then the old law has to be reinstated with these amendments.
