Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared alongside Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama Sunday pledging to fight voter ID laws and other election integrity measures.
Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Speaking at a Selma church service to mark the anniversary of the attack by Alabama law officers on civil rights demonstrators, Garland recounted the history of voting rights since the end of slavery – a history which, he told the crowd, has "never been steady" for Black Americans and "other voters of color." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
He lamented that in recent years, certain measures such as voter ID laws and redistricting maps have made it harder "for millions of eligible voters to vote and to elect the representatives of their choice."
