terri sewell, and miss marsha fudge, will restore the most important enforcement mechanism of the voting rights act of 1965. its preclearance provision by establishing a new formula to determine which jurisdictions will be subject to preclearance. the supreme court when it struck down the previous preclearance requirement in 2013 asked congress to come back with a new preclearance requirement. that's what we are doing. this formula is a self-updating because it requires a continuous 25-year lookback to determine whether any given moment a jurisdiction has engaged in such pervasive discrimination to justify imposing a federal preclearance requirement on any changes to voting laws that it may make. this formula reflects the substantial evidentiary record developed in numerous hearings before the house judiciary subcommittee on the constitution civil rights and civil liberties which i serve as chair. and other committees of this house. in short, it reflects current conditions, demonstrates the current need for preclearance. it is therefore responsive to the supreme court's reasoning, and sh
