| I'm seventy-one now, so it's hard to imagine a dramatic change. |
| The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and an essential protection of that right is the Voting Rights Act. Every voice must be heard and every vote must be counted. State and local governments continue to adopt voting laws, practices and procedures that deny equal access to voting - without the Voting Rights Act, there would be little protection against these efforts to deny some of us our right to vote. The Voting Rights Act is necessary to help ensure that every American citizen is able to exercise the franchise. |
| We had talked to the Justice Department and received pre-clearance, but the Secretary of State's Office began to interfere with that part, and said that we were violating the (rights of) handicapped voters - blind and other physical handicaps - because they cannot determine if they are voting correctly by paper ballots. |
| The Justice Department has not been able to do this, ... Current law prohibits them from doing that. What we want to do is take the shackles off the Justice Department and off the FTC and let them go after OPEC and see what they can come up with. |
| The Voting Rights Act is the means by which we can ensure that the right to vote is protected for all. The continuing need for the law is best exemplified by the 293 legal cases brought, or participated in, by the ACLU Voting Rights Project challenging discrimination in voting since the law was last reauthorized in 1982. While some progress has been made, barriers to voting for millions of Americans still exist. |

Bill Bradley (1943-) |  |
| Young people think broadly about voting rights or economic rights but don't understand how individuals were affected by voting rights. The right to vote was to get people out of office who would bring on segregation. |
| As I reviewed the number of documents about John Roberts’ record, it is imperative that there is intensive oversight during the hearings, ... The Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment. We cannot afford to lose ground on the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the affirmative action executive order in the Nixon White House, and the rights to fairness in the criminal justice system. |
