"purges that result in a person having to leave the voting place and come again, it seems to me, ought to be disallowed under our bill"

"We know that some of that is true because Democrats took back this House last year."

"I hope, particularly the witnesses who can give us perspective on what we have got to do now in renewing the Voting Rights Act, can talk about their own role."

"I want to take a moment to thank members of this subcommittee who have highlighted the critical needs of these programs."
