Conservatives push a 'legal assault' on the Voting Rights Act

Conservatives push a 'legal assault' on the Voting Rights Act
"There's a multi-pronged attack on the most basic element of citizenship, and it's not about the people's will or state's rights, the ultimate code words for racist policies. It's about Republicans fighting progress and fighting politically the only way they can.

It's a path that an increasingly conservative, activist court could clear for them."
