Evidence
Warnock said he has long fought to protect voting rights, including by introducing legislation to restore critical safeguards of the original Voting Rights Act and to ban gerrymandering.
Warnock said, “I will continue to lead the charge to ban gerrymandering federally, protecting our democracy once and for all.”
Assessments
Warnock has worked toward the promise by advocating for federal voting-rights legislation and introducing or supporting measures meant to restore Voting Rights Act safeguards. However, the promised substantive outcome, restoration of the Voting Rights Act, has not been enacted. Under the rule that a serious legislative attempt without delivery should be scored as never with an effort badge, this is not fulfilled despite meaningful same-term effort.
