"For six decades, the Voting Rights Act stopped racist politicians from slicing up voting districts to weaken the impact of Black voters.

The Supreme Court gutted the law this year, and Republican politicians in numerous states are already redrawing maps because of it.

On Thursday, Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer signed a bill to fight back. The new law bans discrimination, vote dilution, intimidation, deception, and language barriers at the polls. What the Supreme Court took out, Delaware just put back in.

State Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown is the first Black person to serve as Delaware’s House Speaker. She reminded the crowd at the bill signing that before 1965, Southern states made Black Americans try to pass rigged reading tests just to register to vote: “It’s only been 61 years since literacy tests were outlawed.”

A handful of states built this protection years ago. Delaware just proved it’s not too late for others to take action."
