It isn't very often, frankly, in this country that such a high-profile potential abridgment of people's free expression is in the zeitgeist.

说实话，现在国家的时代精神是高调的民众自由表达可能被节制，所以这种时刻并不是常有。

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act prohibits any electoral practice that " results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."

《投票权法案》第二条禁止任何“因种族或肤色而导致美国公民投票权被否定或剥夺”的选举行为。
