The House is going to vote on four amendments to the act. One, offered by Republican Steve King of Iowa, would end the requirement that certain state and local jurisdictions offer bilingual ballots. Another would extend the “emergency provisions” of the act for 10 years rather than 25. A third would make it easier for “covered jurisdictions”–states and localities that have to get pre-clearance from the Justice Department before changing any election laws, voting procedures, or district lines–to get out from under that supervision. A fourth would require that decisions on which jurisdictions to cover be based on recent data about minority voting, not the data of 1964. King’s amendment is given the best odds for passing, and it will be close.
