Department of Justice and the 2010 Redistricting Cycle

As the federal agency charged with enforcement of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the Department of Justice plays a key role in line-drawing through both section 5 preclearance in 16 states and in all other states through litigation that might arise under section 2 of the Act.  In this session, the U.S. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights will discuss the priorities of the Department in the 2010 redistricting cycle.

Speaker:
Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.
