Booker's campaign rolled out the proposal Wednesday during a campaign visit to Georgia, where Democrats have accused Republicans of working to suppress votes in the 2018 gubernatorial race between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams. Abrams refused to officially concede and has called it a"stolen election.
"It is time for a new Voting Rights Act to finally put an end to systematic attempts to limit access to the ballot box and strip citizens of their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote."Read MoreIn 2013, the Supreme Court invalidated protections at the heart of the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder, saying states should not need federal approval to change their elections laws."Our country has changed," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion.
'among other changes' -- The Devil is in the details isn't it? 😑
Stop searching for issues man! Pull the pin and support Bernie. In your heart you know he's right. You will be admired and inherit the progressive mantle.
Senator, great ideal I like this because it focuses on serious issues and offers solutions. Why wouldn't Republicans be interested in addressing problems that rob minority voters of their rights? Maybe, they want to unlawfully control our country and hold power.
Great. Those of use who have jobs that require us to work holidays. Just have to work another holiday.
Just what we need, another holiday Cory... yikes! Anything to garner votes to catch up to THE MAYOR OF SOUTH BEND..
It's a power grab by the left according to McConnell! This is very unfair to Republicans! Their strategy for success in the foreseeable future is voter suppression & gerrymandering! How else can they make up for their older white base dying off? They need a fair shot!
Funny how we know, out of millions of people, which store sold the jackpot but election votes take months. Fuckin' rigged, is why, thanks to your ever loving Obama.
Hahahahaha clown
Sen. Cory Booker is calling for a new and expanded Voting Rights Act, which would tackle gerrymandering and make eating contest Day a national holiday, among other changes
Gerrymandering is a trigger word for sleepers.
Democrats have plans to get money and power. Do they have ANY Plan that helps the average citizen!
He went into the progressive bag and picked the only two that don’t hurt his pharma and status quo donors. Boring.
Yup! all the jiga-boo's get to vote twice!
CNN + Booker = lies × infinitely
Hate the cost of prescription medicine .... it’s because of this guy
I’ve always wondered whether there’s a Chinese guy of Mandarin origin named Gerry
If those were good ideas , well presented, why couldn’t he get them passed in Congress? If he couldn’t do it there, he wouldn’t get it done as president, either. Booker is way too partisan to get anything accomplished.
Perfect more working conservatives can vote. Liberals already use it as a holiday as they dont work so this just favors the right!
Thank You and POTUS SenBooker Cory2020 CoryBooker
Well, election day in 16 was a day of mourning for a person or two, so how do you get folks to jump on board? Booker, really? I'll keep following Pete and Bernie for now.
The nut job Party
You're still going to lose! God bless Trump and lotto 🙏🙏😇 🙌
This actually sounds reasonable.
Free beer too?
