"AG Garland and VP Harris Rally Against Voter ID Laws in Selma"

Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged to fight voter ID laws and other election integrity measures that he deemed discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary during an appearance in Selma, Alabama alongside Vice President Kamala Harris. He recounted the history of voting rights for Black Americans and other voters of color, stating that recent measures have made it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballots and elect representatives of their choice. Garland highlighted the DOJ's efforts to challenge state restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, drop boxes, and voter ID requirements, while emphasizing the urgency of the current moment.
