Washington, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Chairman Steve Cohen (D-TN) sent a letter, below, to Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker asking him to provide answers related to the Justice Department’s commitment to enforcing landmark voter protection laws. This includes explaining the Department’s decision to reverse its litigating position in the Ohio voter purge, Texas gerrymandering, and Texas voter ID cases; its involvement in adding the citizenship question to the 2020 census; the low number of case filings related to Voting Rights Act enforcement; the subpoenaing of minority-majority counties for sensitive election data; and other actions that impact the voting rights of Americans. The letter comes after the Judiciary Committee’s hearing this week on portions of H.R. 1, the For the People Act, a package of reforms to restore confidence in American democracy by reducing the role of money in politics, restoring ethical standards and integrity for government, and strengthening laws to protect voting.
