Crow Statement on Supreme Court Voting Rights Act Decision

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, gutting a key provision of the Voting Rights Act: 

“The Supreme Court just gave Republicans the green light to pursue more partisan gerrymandering. Their disastrous decision will further corrode our politics, eliminate fair maps, and embolden corporate special interests.

“By eroding civil rights laws like the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is attacking the right of every citizen to vote and make their voice heard.

“This extreme Supreme Court has failed the American people. Congress must act to ban gerrymandering nationwide, end dark money influencing our elections, and reform our government so it works for working people.”
