Sen. Ossoff Statement on Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Decision

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff released the following statement.

"The Supreme Court decision gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act results from an ongoing, multi-year attack on the signature policy achievements of the Civil Rights Movement.

"The blatant and cynical aim of this campaign against voting rights laws is to reduce Black representation in the United States Congress.

"It is essential we restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act to defend every American citizen's access to the ballot and to ensure all Americans have real representation in Congress."
