"The violent struggle for voting rights and equal access to the ballot box is not one of a distant past."

"We should applaud increases in voter turnout, not respond to them with new restrictions to voting."

"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."
