Public trust in the electoral process and the legitimacy of duly elected representatives will continue to degrade. Without robust protections for voting rights, the voices of marginalized communities are silenced, and their ability to participate meaningfully in the democratic process is hindered.<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JohnLewisVotingRightsAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JohnLewisVotingRightsAct</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShelbyCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ShelbyCounty</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CorruptRobertsCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CorruptRobertsCourt</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://networklobby.org/this-black-history-month-network-calls-for-democracy-protection-in-the-u-s/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">networklobby.org/this-black-hi</span><span class="invisible">story-month-network-calls-for-democracy-protection-in-the-u-s/</span></a></p>
