Calling on Congress to condemn voter suppression laws enacted by States and political subdivisions.
This symbolic resolution (HRES 968) calls on Congress to condemn state and local voting restrictions that disproportionately affect minority voters, including laws limiting mail-in voting, reducing polling places, or imposing strict ID requirements. It does not change voting laws or create new requirements - it is a non-binding statement expressing congressional disapproval of these policies. The resolution references historical context like the Shelby County decision and statistics on post-2013 voting law changes, but focuses solely on urging condemnation. It applies to states and political subdivisions that enact such restrictive voting measures.
