U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, last week http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=81502&qid=4861768 said there was no need to restore the Voting Rights Act (VRA) — which the Supreme Court gutted in 2013 — because “more minorities are already voting.” “To insinuate that the VRA was designed to drive up vote totals in minority communities shows real disregard for the voting discrimination that inspired the nation to adopt the law and persists today in the wake of the [Supreme Court] decision,” Wade Henderson, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, told the International Business Times. http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=81503&qid=4861768
