Era un creyente devoto de que era nuestra obligaci\u00f3n moral como ciudadanos defender los derechos de los m\u00e1s desfavorecidos, sin importar lo que costara. Tenemos la oportunidad de cimentar su legado y asegurar el derecho al voto en una ley de letra negra\u201d.<\/b> dijo Wyden. \u201c<b>Hemos visto estados luchando con u\u00f1as y dientes para bloquear a los estadounidenses marginados de las urnas. El Congreso no puede permitirse el lujo de quedarse de brazos cruzados mientras se pisotean los derechos inalienables de los estadounidenses\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>&quot;John Lewis fue un poderoso defensor hasta el final&quot;.<\/b> dijo Merkley. <b>\u201c\u00c9l comprometi\u00f3 su vida a poner fin a la discriminaci\u00f3n, luchar por la justicia racial y abrir las puertas de las oportunidades para todos. Una y otra vez, arriesg\u00f3 su propia vida para defender el derecho al voto de todos los estadounidenses, y la mejor manera de honrar su legado es continuar su lucha y aprobar la Ley John Lewis para el Avance del Derecho al Voto para que todos tengan igualdad de oportunidades para participar en nuestra democracia\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>En 2013, la Corte Suprema&nbsp;<i>Condado de Shelby v. Titular&nbsp;<\/i>La decisi\u00f3n destruy\u00f3 protecciones cr\u00edticas a los votantes dentro de la Ley de Derecho al Voto, paralizando la capacidad del gobierno federal para evitar cambios discriminatorios en las leyes y procedimientos estatales de votaci\u00f3n. A ra\u00edz de&nbsp;<i>Condado de Shelby<\/i>, los estados de todo el pa\u00eds desataron un torrente de planes de supresi\u00f3n de votantes que han privado sistem\u00e1ticamente de sus derechos a los votantes minoritarios. Estos esfuerzos discriminatorios para restringir el acceso a las urnas socavan el progreso y la igualdad por los que John Lewis luch\u00f3 arduamente durante d\u00e9cadas, desde su \u00e9poca como l\u00edder del movimiento de derechos civiles hasta su mandato en el Congreso.
