119-hres-1384119th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress must urgently take all appropriate measures to guarantee civil rights and fair political representation to all Americans.

Sponsored By: Representative Casar, Greg [D-TX-35]

Introduced

Summary

Restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act to end racial discrimination in voting and protect representation for voters of color. The resolution warns recent Supreme Court decisions, including Louisiana v. Callais and Shelby County v. Holder, have weakened enforcement and opened the door to partisan mapmaking.

Show full summary
  • Communities of color: Would push federal action to preserve and expand gains in Latino, Black, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander political participation and representation.
  • Louisiana and affected voters: Frames Callais as enabling extreme partisan gerrymandering that could flip a substantial number of House seats and notes Louisiana suspended a U.S. House primary, disenfranchising tens of thousands who had already voted to redraw maps.
  • Congress and the courts: Calls on Congress to eliminate the 60-vote Senate threshold when needed to pass voting protections and seeks structural Supreme Court reforms, including a binding judicial ethics code, term limits, and Court expansion.
