In the fight to restore what's been called the most effective civil rights legislation in U.S. history, Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell of Alabama is unrelenting.

Despite a divided Congress heading into a presidential election year, Sewell is leading a group of House Democrats to reintroduce a bill Tuesday that would shore up and expand the Voting Rights Act of 1965 after the U.S. Supreme Court dismantled key parts of the landmark law.
