Last Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to our democracy. In their decision on Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, the Supreme Court has undermined Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a provision meant to protect voters from discriminatory and racist voting restrictions. This destructive decision comes on the heels of nation-wide attacks on voting rights in states like Texas where disability advocates in Texas prepare for a special legislative session in which legislators will consider more anti-voting legislation to add seemingly arbitrary barriers for disabled voters, voters of color, and disabled voters of color.
