See this press release, which notes that “The launch of the campaign coincides with the release of two new ACLU reports outlining the continued need for the act. The first report, The Case for Extending and Amending the Voting Rights Act: Voting Rights Litigation, 1982-2006, is an 867 page report documenting 293 ACLU cases brought in 31 states to protect the right to vote and challenge discrimination in voting. …The second report, Promises to Keep: The Impact of the Voting Rights Act in 2006, details the practical effects of the Voting Rights Act and discusses the impact of the law in eliminating discrimination and granting access to the ballot box for minorities.” Meanwhile, the DOJ is using its VRA powers to monitor primary elections in Texas.
