    UN Committee on Racial Discrimination in US Issues Recommendations
    on Voting Rights <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=64790>

    Right to vote
    11. The Committee is concerned at the obstacles faced by individuals
    belonging to racial and ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples to
    effectively exercise their right to vote, due inter alia to
    restrictive voter identification laws, district gerrymandering, and
    state-level felon disenfranchisement laws. It is also concerned at
    the Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder, which struck
    down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act and made Section 5
    inoperable, thus invalidating the procedural safeguards to prevent
    the implementation of voting regulations that may have
    discriminatory effect. It expresses further concern at the continued
    denial of the right of residents of the District of Colombia (D.C.),
    half of whom are African Americans, to vote for and elect
    representatives to the United States Senate and voting-members to
    the House of Representatives (arts. 2 and 5(c)).
    The Committee recommends that the State party take effective
    measures to:
    (a) Enforce federal voting rights law throughout the State party in
    ways that encourage voter participation, and adopt federal
    legislation to prevent the
    implementation of voting regulations which have discriminatory
    impact in light of the
    Shelby County v. Holder decision;
    (b) Ensure that indigenous peoples can effectively exercise their
    right to vote and address their specific concerns;
    (c) Ensure that all states reinstate voting rights to persons
    convicted of felony who have completed their sentences, provide
    inmates with information about
    their voting restoration options, and review automatic denial of the
    right to vote to
    imprisoned felons regardless of the nature of the offence; and
    (d) Provide for the full voting rights of residents of Washington, D.C.
