After a unanimous vote by the Senate, the Voting Rights Act was extended for 25 more years, yet despite the protections this law promises many states continue to impose restrictions on voting rights that limit people's ability to vote. We rely on the courts to defend and protect the right for everyone to vote. Discussed here are a few recent cases that illustrate the important role the courts play in helping enforce access to the polls and the ability to vote.
