Alaska natives and Puerto Ricans. Many of those who benefit from Sections 203 and 4(f)(4) suffer from inadequate educational opportunities to learn English. These Americans are trying to vote but many of them are struggling with the English language due to disparities in education and the incremental process of learning. We can and we must reauthorize these provisions to make sure there is no literacy test at the polling place. We endured a time in our Nations history when such tests disenfranchised many voters. Renewing the expiring language provisions will help enable all Americans to participate fully in our Nations democracy.
