John Conyers actually said...

"I want to thank you for your leadership in combating deceptive voting practices."

"This bill will not only prevent these practices under federal law, but will provide the necessary administrative remedies."

"If you intend to deceive voters, you will be punished."

"These two issues--the need for federal legislation banning deceptive practices and Justice Department enforcement of federal voting rights protections--are the focus of my testimony today."
