U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty was arrested by Capitol police Thursday after she marched to a Senate office building to push for voting rights legislation aimed at curbing restrictions in Republican-controlled states.
The Columbus Democrat and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus joined a coalition of Black women and advocates calling on lawmakers to pass bills that proponents say would expand voting access and guard against racial discrimination. Democrats have rallied around the proposals as states including Ohio seek to change voter identification rules and limit the use of ballot drop boxes. We might as well still have the dogs and the hoses because we don t have the Voting Rights Act, Beatty said during a press conference held before her arrest.
