Elijah Cummings actually said...

"Don't let them take the vote away from us."

"It took us a year and a half to finally hold today's hearing."

"the integrity of the Nation's voting infrastructure is that bipartisan issue and one that affects not only the national political landscape, but election, and State, county and municipal local levels."

"This hearing means a lot to me personally, and I know it means a lot to every Member of this body."
