 It's been 11 years since the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, a decision that invalidated key parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. House Democrats marked the anniversary with a call for action. Democrat Terri Sewell of Alabama led a news conference Wednesday morning where she described the results of the Shelby ruling as devastating, with long voting lines, polling stations closed in communities of color, voting roll purges, and more.
