United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Voting Section Introduction To Federal Voting Rights Laws Introduction To Federal Voting Rights Laws Before the Voting Rights Act The Voting Rights Act of 1965 The Effect of the Voting Rights Act The Voting Rights Act, adopted initially in 1965 and extended in 1970, 1975, and 1982, is generally considered the most successful piece of civil rights legislation ever adopted by the United States Congress. The Act codifies and effectuates the 15th Amendment's permanent guarantee that, throughout the nation, no person shall be denied the right to vote on account of race or color. In addition, the Act contains several special provisions that impose even more stringent requirements on "covered" jurisdictions in certain areas of the country. Congress adopted such a far-reaching statute only in response to compelling evidence of continuing interference with attempts by African American citizens to exercise their right to vote. As the Supreme Court put it in its 1966 decision upholding the constitutionality of the Act: Congress had found that case-by-case litigation was inadequate to combat wide-spread and persistent discrimination in voting, because of the inordinant amount of time and energy required to overcome the obstructionist tactics invariably encountered in these lawsuits. After enduring nearly a century of systematic resistance to the Fifteenth Amendment, Congress might well decide to shift the advantage of time and inertia from the perpetrators of the evil to its victims.

Statute Citations For persons with disabilities, this document is available in large print, Braille, audio tape, and computer disk. Reproduction of this document is encouraged. This guide provides an overview of Federal civil rights laws that ensure equal opportunity for people with disabilities. To find out more about how these laws may apply to you, contact the agencies and organizations listed below. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications. It also applies to the United States Congress. To be protected by the ADA, one must have a disability or have a relationship or association with an individual with a disability. An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered. ADA Title I: Employment Title I requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from the full range of employment-related opportunities available to others. For example, it prohibits discrimination in recruitment, hiring, promotions, training, pay, social activities, and other privileges of employment. It restricts questions that can be asked about an applicant's disability before a job offer is made, and it requires that employers make reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of otherwise qualified individuals with disabilities, unless it results in undue hardship. Religious entities with 15 or more employees are covered under title I.

United States House of Representatives From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The House of Representatives is the larger of two houses that make up the United States Congress , the other being the United States Senate House of Representatives chamber Table of contents 1 Members 2 Activities 3 History 4 Composition of the 108th Congress (2003-2005) ... edit Members Members of the House are elected for a term of two years. Elections alternately coincide with the presidential election ; when they do not, they are called mid-term elections. The 435 seats in the House are apportioned among the fifty states by population, as determined by a decennial census . Members are elected from districts through a first past the post method. Consequently, disputes over the boundaries of the districts, which must be redrawn after each census, can be particularly contentious. Subject to constitutional requirements established by case law, and in some states to review by the United States Department of Justice to ensure compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act , the government of each state draws the boundaries for the House districts within the state's borders.

At every stage of the process, discretion results in people of color being treated unfairly. It begins with police focus on communities of color and use of racial profiling, continues with prosecutorial discretion on how people are charged or not charged and the types of plea agreements that are negotiated and shows itself in sentencing decisions by judges and the application of post sentencing relief by parole officers.

UNITED STATES JAYCEES No. 83-724 SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES 468 U.S. 609 July 3, 1984, Decided APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

This case requires us to address a conflict between a State's efforts to eliminate gender-based discrimination against its citizens and the constitutional freedom of association asserted by members of a private organization. In the decision under review, the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit concluded that, by requiring the United States Jaycees to admit women as full voting members, the Minnesota Human Rights Act violates the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the organization's members.

Free blacks can vote in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The constitutions of Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, exclude blacks from voting but expand white male suffrage.

Persons of Hispanic origin shown in this release do not include residents of Puerto Rico but only of the conterminous 50 States and the District of Columbia. INTRODUCTION This release presents projections of the population of voting age (18 years and over) for States for November 1, 1996, by broad age groups and gender by race and Hispanic origin. The projections shown here are based on the April 1, 1990, population as enumerated in the 1990 census projected forward to November 1, 1996. The projections are designed to serve as a reference for the November general elections for members of the 106th Congress of the United States. They are for the resident population of the United States, including members of the Armed Forces where they reside at their duty stations. They exclude the military and civilian population overseas and their dependents of voting age who would be eligible to vote by absentee ballot in their home states. HIGHLIGHTS The voting-age population of the United States is expected to reach 196.5 million persons by November 1, 1996, up from an estimated 189.5 million in November 1992.
