The Act outlaws discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The Act also requires desegregation in public areas and schools.The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was also signed into law by President Johnson, and was intended to undo the effect of Jim Crow laws and other restrictions on voting that disenfranchised minority voters. When considering the Voting Rights Act, Congress determined that the current federal anti-discrimination laws were insufficient to protect minority citizens' voting rights, primarily due to widespread resistance to equal rights by state officials. In 2013, the Supreme Court invalidated a part of the Voting Rights Act in the seminal case, Shelby County v. Holder.]]> 2017-01-04 20:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378505 waljac18 https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378534 Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar]]> 2017-01-04 20:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378534 swaluk14 https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378663 Political Comic]]> 2017-01-04 20:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378663 swaluk14 https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378835 The Capitol Building]]> 2017-01-04 20:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378835 swaluk14 https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378975 One of the states with the fewest House representatives]]> 2017-01-04 20:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145378975 havbra23 https://padlet.com/waljac18/h4ucz2htf1vv/wish/145379008 Salary of a Senator: Around $172,000
