Lawmakers introduce the Colorado Voting Rights Act to protect voting access

Colorado lawmakers will consider passing a state version of the federal Voting Rights Act to protect voting access at the state and local levels. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The landmark legislation outlawed racial discrimination in voting. With Republicans taking control of Congress and the White House — and with a 6-3 conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court — a group of Democratic lawmakers in Colorado believe it’s time to strengthen voter protections in the state.
