Mazie Hirono: “I plan to reintroduce the Compact-Impact Fairness Act, which would restore COFA citizens' access to all federal public…”

The passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a major turning point in our country that finally gave many previously excluded people of color real access to the polls.

In functionally overturning the last enforceable section of the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court has once again put the interests of Republicans and their billionaire buddies before the voting rights of millions of Americans.

This is a Supreme Court majority with an ideological agenda.

It is more urgent than ever that Congress pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
