Important: The Senate this week is voting on the nomination of Tom Farr, who has a long record of supporting laws to restrict the voting rights and representation of African Americans. All @SenateDems oppose his nomination. We need just two Republicans to vote NO.
The Congressional Black Caucus expressed its strong opposition to Farr’s nomination, writing that “Farr has amassed a record that puts him at the forefront of an extended fight to disenfranchise African-American voters.”
Farr vigorously defended racial gerrymandering in a case where a three-judge panel in the Middle District of North Carolina found “that race was the predominant factor motivating the drawing of all challenged [state legislative] districts.”
In fact, two of three federal judges held that the state’s congressional redistricting plan violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.
In 2016, Farr also defended North Carolina’s restrictive voter ID law in federal court. The court struck down the law and STRONGLY disagreed with Farr’s defense, noting that its requirements “target African Americans with almost surgical precision.”
When you accuse someone Diane you ought to do so with specifics so we can see what you are calling disenfranchisement of black voters.
Thank you Senator for all you do. Many blessings and much respect to you.
Where is Fake Flake? @JeffFlake
