Judicial Watch announced today that Senior Attorney T. Russell Nobile will provide testimony tomorrow, July 14, before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, during a hearing titled "Restoring the Voting Rights Act after Brnovich and Shelby County."
Section 4(b) required certain states and local governments to obtain a predetermination by the United States Attorney General or a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia affirming that changes to their voting laws or practices do not "Deny or abridge the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group" before those changes could be enforced.
Reacting to the court's ruling in Brnovich, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called the court's decision "a home run for cleaner elections, reaffirming that states may take action to prevent election fraud without waiting for it to occur within their own borders. This new decision rightly rejects the race baiting of the leftist partisans who pretend that neutral provisions to combat voter fraud are presumptively racist. The decision also destroys the foundation of the Biden administration's recent attack on Georgia's election reform laws."
Judicial Watch is a national leader in voting integrity and voting rights.
As part of this effort, Judicial Watch assembled a team of highly experienced voting rights attorneys who have fought gerrymandering in Maryland, stopped discriminatory elections in Hawaii, and cleaned up voter rolls in California, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, among other achievements.
T. Russell Nobile joined Judicial Watch's legal team as a senior attorney in May 2019.
Nobile previously served for seven years as a trial attorney for the United States Department of Justice, where he brought complex enforcement actions involving the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Help America Vote Act, National Voter Registration Act, The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and other federal laws.
