"The chairman of the black Alabama Democratic Conference is asking the Justice Department to review whether Alabama's new ban on transferring money between political action committees violates the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Chairman Joe Reed sent a letter to the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division seeking the review.
He said Monday the new ban stops political candidates, political parties and PACs from giving to ADC's PAC, which is used to turn out minority voters for elections. He said the new law diminishes the impact of the Voting Rights Act by diluting black influence at the polls."
