The rollout of the new voter-ID law in Texas is off to a very bad start.

The DOJ case comes on the heels of three lawsuits filed by civil rights groups in August challenging North Carolina’s extreme voting restrictions.

Protecting the right to vote was front and center at this week's March on Washington 50th anniversary commemoration events.

The Department of Justice announced today that it is objecting to Texas’ voter ID law and will also seek to join a similar lawsuit against the state’s redistricting maps.

Nearly half a century after the landmark legislation changed our country's politics, The Nation's Ari Berman notes that voting rights are under threat once again.

Move aside, Florida -- in spite of Moral Mondays protests, North Carolina is now the new poster child for voter suppression.

Ari Berman writes that, with the repeal of the Voting Rights Act, powerful interests will be more able to manipulate electoral rules to preserve their own power.
