Some background information about John Lewis Voting Rights Act, in excerpt from wikipedia, in italics, below:
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 (H.R. 4) is proposed legislation that would restore and strengthen parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, certain portions of which were struck down by two United States Supreme Court decisions of Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee.[1][2] Particularly, it would restore the Voting Rights Act’s requirement that certain states pre-clear certain changes to their voting laws with the federal government.[3] It was re-introduced in the 117th Congress, and is named after late Georgia Representative and voting rights activist John Lewis.
On August 24, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill by a margin of 219–212, though it still needs approval by the U.S. Senate before it can be sent to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.[4]
