Commission on the Voting Rights Act issues Report on
the State of Discrimination in Voting
From March to October 2005, the National Commission on
the Voting Rights Act held hearings across the country
on the state of discrimination in voting and the impact
of the Voting Rights Act. During this time, the Commission
heard from voting activists, election administrators,
attorneys with experience in voting rights—whether
in private practice or with the Justice Department—academic
experts, representatives of minority groups, and interested
citizens who had knowledge of voting discrimination. After
examining testimony from these hearings, as well as documents
entered into the record and information obtained from
governmental, legal, media and scholarly sources, the
Commission prepared the following report of its findings. |
