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.
