SUPREME COURT WILL KILL THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT
By: Derek Varsalona
The Supreme Court is set to discriminate against minority voters this week when it dismantles the Voting Rights Act.
As a disabled American with special needs who has Cerebral Palsy and short-term memory loss, this is very troubling to me.
This is a major federal case on whether or not the board of elections and voting commissions has the right to ban people based on race in this country. I thought we had passed this stage in our society, aiming for a more accepting one. I guess not under President Trump.
What is at stake is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. It says that you can not discriminate based on race. I stand for Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. But I want to broaden the scope. Discrimination against one person is discrimination against all people regardless of race. What concerns me as a Disabled American is the fact that the Supreme Court could find ways to stop accessible voting or braille voting information for the blind, and a ray of other issues that pertain to the disabled while voting.
If the Supreme Court bans the Voting Rights Act section two, they are going to further dismantle or even abolish the Voting Rights Act, which is cause for concern. As always, comments accepted.
