Voting Rights Discussions Happening in Delaware

SDARJ Author Announcement

WRDE-TV | Cody Decker

DELAWARE– On Wednesday, the United States Senate blocked a voting rights package.

Locals are feeling the effects of that decision including Sussex County Democrats Chair Jane Hovington who is frustrated with the decision.

“This is something that has become a political fight, a political battle,” Hovington said. “Democrats versus Republicans and unfortunately we’re all suffering as a result of this fight.”

In order to get a head start on 2022 and 2024, a webinar is being held Friday night by the Sussex County Divine Nine, a group of nine fraternities and sororities that are predominantly black. They are focusing on getting people registered and to the polls and encouraging people to run for office. Organizer Dr. Marlene A. Saunders says the push is for younger people to get involved in the voting process. Click to watch the video here.
