Eric Holder cited Republican-backed voting restrictions like voter ID laws. Though they're justified as preventing fraud, he said, "these policies disproportionately disenfranchise African-Americans, Hispanics, other communities of color, and vulnerable populations such as the elderly.
"Interfering with or depriving a person of the right to vote should never be a political aim," Holder added. "It is a moral failing."
