How to comment on proposed Justice Department Section 5 guidelines

Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act vests great powers in the Federal government over state and local elections. The Department of Justice has proposed new Section 5 regulations and Abigail Thernstrom has blogged about what they may mean for America at ElectionLawCenter.com.

If you would like to tell the Department of Justice what you think about the guidelines, they have invited public comment. Comments about their proposal should be directed to:
