I have repeatedly called on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to re-file a voter intimidation case that his department dismissed involving members of the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia.  As the only member of the Virginia congressional delegation to vote for the Voting Rights Act of 1981, I believe it is imperative that we protect all Americans right to vote. This is a sacrosanct and inalienable right of any democracy. 

The DOJ career attorneys that filed U.S. v. New Black Panther Party and the department’s Appellate Division sought to demonstrate the federal government’s commitment to protecting this right by vigorously prosecuting any individual or group that seeks to undermine this right.  The only legitimate course of action is to allow the trial team to bring the case again and allow our nation’s justice system to work as it was intended - impartially and without bias.
