We all want open. honest and fair elections and registration processes. What should not happen. as a result of this decision by the House Oversight Committee. is the further disenfranchisement of voters by even more restrictive registration requirements. As we all know. this would only be the beginning of the recurrence of poll watchers. literacy tests. and poll taxesother relics of a bygone era that died with the adoption of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These. and other further and unwarranted voting rights restrictions. hinder the progress and freedom of not just minorities. but of all Americans. Tomorrow will mark the anniversary of the founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). an organization founded by the late Martin Luther King.
