Voting Rights Act: Section 5 of the Act--History Scope and Purpose; Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives One Hundred Ninth Congress First Session October 25 2005

200676534Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Serial No. 109-79. Volume I ONLY. Volume I v 1 1684 6 pages. During this hearing Representative John Lewis of Georgia stated "The Voting Rights Act helped expand our democracy and open up our democracy to elect hundreds of thousands and millions of our citizens who had been kept out let them in. The Voting Rights Act was needed then and it is needed now. The purpose of section 5 is very unique and very important. It prevents discriminatory plans from being enacted in the first place. It put the burden on the judiciary to show that the plan does not discriminate against minority voters. Congress Lewis continued "Prior to section 5 the burden was on the minority voters to challenge the voting practice; and every section was good at coming up with different procedures that had the same result discrimination. Anita Earls' testimony talks in some detail about the recent example how this is still happening. The difference is that we have section 5 to prevent these practices from harming minority voters. Many people like the court said that we have come a long ways; and again today I would say that we've come a distance. We've come a long way and that is true. We're not the same Nation that we were 40 years ago but it's clear today that we have not come far enough. Section 5 is still needed. Today section 5 prevents discrimination and redistricting and changes that move voting locations out of minority neighborhoods into less accessible areas. These are issues that are different from the fight to register to vote but they are no less fundamental." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Voting Rights Act: Evidence of Continued Need; Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives One Hundred Ninth Congress Second Session March 8 2006

200676537Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Serial No. 109-103. 4 volume set. Volume I v 1 1453 5 pages. Volume II v 1. 1455-2388 2. Volume III v 1 2389-4296. Volume IV v 1 4297-5711 3 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. The Subcommittee will be holding its tenth hearing examining the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the temporary provisions that are to expire. They're set to expire in 2007 unless we reauthorize by Congress which I think most of us anticipate will occur. The Subcommittee examined each of the expiring provisions in great detail. This afternoon we examine the evidence of continued discrimination against racial and language minority citizens since 1982 that have been compiled by a number of non-governmental organizations who will be testifying. I'd thank these organizations for the time and effort that they have put into completing these reports and in making sure that this Committee and Congress has before it a complete and accurate record of discrimination over the last 25 years. In continuing to reauthorize the temporary provisions Congress on four separate occasions examined the extent to which discrimination continued to exist by analyzing information such as enforcement statistics minority voter registration rates minority voter turnout and litigation pursued to protect minority voting rights. Federal agencies such as the United States Commission on Civil Rights were instrumental in investigating analyzing and reporting back to Congress on the state of minority voting during each consideration. Each time Congress concluded based upon the evidence presented that the exceptional conditions which existed in 1966 continued to exist in 1970 1975 1982 and in 1992 when it was last reauthorized. This afternoon the Committee continues to examine whether the exceptional conditions warranting the extension of the temporary provisions continue to exist in 2006. U. S.

Voting Rights Act: Section 203--Bilingual Election Requirements Part I; Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives One Hundred Ninth Congress First Session November 8 2005

200676535Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Serial No. 109-83. Part I ONLY. Volume I iv 1446 22 pages. This Committee will focus on section 203 the provision authorizing bilingual language assistance to American citizens who are members of covered language minority groups and who have limited English proficiency. Section 203 has not been revisited by Congress since 1992 and like the sections that we have discussed in previous hearings is set to expire in 2007 unless reauthorized. The Voting Rights Act was enacted in 1965 in response to a history of racial discrimination against some of our Nation's citizens. In 1975 Congress expanded the Voting Rights Act to include section 203 and its companion section 4f. Section 203 requires certain jurisdictions to provide bilingual election assistance-including notices instructions information and ballots-to citizens who are members of a designated language minority group and who have limited English proficiency. As cited in the 1975 House Report section 203 was added in response to ''an extensive evidentiary record demonstrating the prevalence of voting discrimination and high illiteracy rates among language minorities.'' This record revealed that similar discrimination patterns and practices that had been used to prevent African-Americans from voting were being administered against Asian-Americans American Indians Native Alaskans and citizens of Hispanic origin. These citizens are more than likely to live in environments in which the dominant language is other than English. Section 203 breaks down these barriers by providing citizens in a language minority group with the assistance necessary to participate in the political process. Section 203 has enabled an increased number of minority citizens to register and cast ballots as revealed in the last Census and latest election records. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
