The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down the main provision of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which helped ensure congressional districts represented minority constituents. The move could open the door for Republican led states to redistrict even more to gain more seats.
This is a deeply shameful decision by the Supreme Court.
What's important for New Yorkers to know right now is that the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act still holds in our state. We have strong protections against racial disenfranchisement - regardless of the Court's whitewashing.[image or embed]

I wanna go back to Dixie
Take me back to dear ol' Dixie
That's the only li'l ol' place for li'l ol' me
Ol' times there are not forgotten
Whuppin' slaves and sellin' cotton
And waitin' for the Robert E. Lee ... .
