Protections of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act Needed Now More than Ever

He did not refute that Donald Trump on January 6 directed heavily-armed militants to go the Capitol to “fight like hell” to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election as part of his attempt to deny the will of the people and steal the election.
