Why This Section of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 is Crucial in 2024​

President Ulysses Grant signed the Civil Rights Act of 1871 — also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act — on April 20, 1871. It was one of his biggest achievements in office.

Fast forward more than 150 years, and Section 1983 of that act is one of the most crucial laws in the fight for voting rights.

It’s especially important now because last year, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gutted the Voting Rights Act in seven states — Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Section 1983 became an important law for pro-voting groups to use to file their voting rights lawsuits in those states, and it has become a tool in other states, too.

However, the 8th Circuit could also render Section 1983 useless in its jurisdiction in an ongoing North Dakota case — which would be devastating.

Here’s what you should know about this statute.
