Erosion of Voting Rights Enforcement

The US Department of Justice's Voting Rights Section has been severely depleted, with nearly all of its 30 attorneys leaving within three months of Donald Trump's second inauguration. This reduction in personnel has likely hindered the department's ability to enforce voting rights. The current situation may enable election deniers to gain control. This development raises concerns about the protection of voting rights in the US.
