We in Bibb County, Georgia, have a Voting Rights Act preclearance action pending before the Department of Justice as we speak. If the SCOTUS guts the Act, it would be disastrous for us.

I sincerely hope that the Justice Department comes through for us before the SCOTUS rules on this. I definitely agree with the sentiment expressed in the editorial. We still need the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
