Just because you have high turnout doesn't mean that bad laws aren't barriers to voting.
We took the case into Federal court, and the lower Federal courts ruled in our favor and ruled that the State legislature engaged in partisan gerrymandering and that it was a violation of the Federal Constitution.
Where we diverge is how to preserve the program for those in actual need without regulatory loopholes and fuzzy interpretations of the law, both of which exploit the very intent of the program.
Democrats are continuing to fight to get the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act passed and the For the People Act passed.
