"Providing oversight over federal election administration and ensuring every American has free and equitable access to the ballot is vital to our democracy."

"It does not make their barriers fair, and it certainly does not justify or validate their existence."

"I think it's important to note that there is no federal oversight of states."

"Obviously, I think that my bill, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, named after John Lewis, is the right vehicle to do that."
