Press Release  AG Healey Issues Statement in Response to U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Brnovich Case

BOSTON — Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey today issued the following statement in response to the United States Supreme Court decision in the Brnovich vs. Democratic National Committee case:

“Today’s disappointing Supreme Court ruling makes it harder to fight discriminatory voting policies and harms Latino, Native American, and Black voters in Arizona. Voting restrictions pose a mounting threat to our democracy. Voter ID laws, long lines, and other discriminatory policies are taken from the same playbook as Jim Crow. All of us—elected officials, business leaders, activists, voters—need to rise up for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the For the People Act. We cannot rest while the freedom to vote is threatened.”
