The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act on Friday by a vote of 228-187, with only one Republican joining all Democrats in voting yes.

All four Colorado Democrats – U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Jason Crow and Ed Perlmutter – were cosponsors of the legislation, a response to the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court case of Shelby County v. Holder. In that ruling, on a 5-4 division, justices invalided the part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that provided for federal oversight over localities that had a historical pattern of discrimination against voters of color.

The court felt that sufficient changes had happened in the interceding half-century to render that authority unconstitutional.

The legislation would re-institute oversight if states were proved to commit a sufficient number of voting rights violations over a 25-year period, defined as the “denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group.”

“Since #SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act six years ago in its Shelby County v. Holder decision, Selma’s legacy has been unraveled by discrimination,” wrote Neguse on Twitter, referring to the series of 1965 marches in Alabama that were a response to voter disenfranchisement. “I’m proud to have voted for #HR4, which honors the legacy of the civil rights foot soldiers and works to finally #RestoreTheVote.”

“The right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy,” said Crow in a statement. “The House passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act to stop egregious voter suppression tactics and protect one of the most fundamental rights in America.”

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is the cosponsor of a corresponding bill in the Senate, which has not yet had a committee hearing.
