This decision is a big blow to all Americans -especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities who will face tremendous obstacles in exercising the fundamental right to vote. Frankly, the continued push for these photo-identification laws is not at all about the integrity of the electoral process but rather part of a tradition of voter suppression that must end. I am committed to defending the right to vote for every American and I will work with my colleagues to strengthen and preserve our electoral process. Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-9) is First Vice Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and Co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Appropriations Committee. # # # Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
