Washington D.C. - Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais:
"Today, the Supreme Court has dealt a devastating new blow to the Voting Rights Act and against the sacred right to vote.
"The consequences will be felt across the country: fewer voices heard, fewer communities represented and a democracy diminished.
"Congress must urgently pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the full strength of the Voting Rights Act before this latest blow becomes fatal."
