Restoring the Voting Rights Act is still on this Alabama Democrat's agenda

Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell of Alabama is reintroducing a bill that would restore the Voting Rights Act .

The Supreme Court dismantled key parts of the landmark civil rights law in 2013 .

Sewell: "Old battles have become new again, even though we thought that this battle for voting rights was won on a bridge in my hometown".

The chances of Sewell 's bill passing this Congress are slim to none, says Sarah Binder , a political science professor.

Sewell concedes that Democrats would need to win back control of the House , expand their current majority in the Senate and keep Biden in the White House in order for her bill to have a real chance at becoming law.
