South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP Home Briefing Room Statements and Releases The sacred right to vote is the fundamental freedom that unlocks all others. Today’s Supreme Court decision deprives Americans of that sacred freedom and further harms our democracy. Let us be clear: Voters should choose their elected officials – not the other way around. Extremist elected officials’ attempt to dilute the rights of voters based on race is wrong. South Carolinians and people across America deserve to have their voices heard and their votes counted. President Biden and I will continue fighting to protect Americans from discrimination at the ballot box, and we once again urge Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.# # # Next Post: Statement from President Joe Biden on the Historic Union Contract in Georgia Statement from President Joe Biden on the Historic Union Contract in Georgia May 23, 2024 •Statements and Releases Next Post Stay ConnectedSign UpEmail Address* RequiredZIP CodePlease leave blank.We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better.
