Maura Healey: Voting rights is the most important issue of our time

[On other states restricting voting rights] "Our democracy is at risk as more and more Republican-led legislatures push forward with dangerous legislation aimed at restricting voting access for communities of color," AG Healey said. "These discriminatory policies are ripped from the same playbook as Jim Crow. Voting rights is the most important issue of our time, and it's on us, as elected officials, to stand up and do what's needed to ensure the right to vote. Congress must act now."
