## Resource

New Jersey just passed the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act — the 11th state to do so — to shield voting rights and ensure minority communities have full access to the ballot box, especially after a Supreme Court ruling weakened the Voting Rights Act and undermined protections for voters of color. This bold new law steps in where federal safeguards have faltered, locking in voting power for all residents. Meanwhile, a separate legal battle rages over overseas voting, as a candidate and the RNC sue a state law allowing military families abroad to vote — a law the state’s AG vows to defend. With mail-in ballots still central to election access, New Jersey’s six-day post-election window remains a secure, vital tool for broad participation.
