G. K. Butterfield: “if I have no more speakers, and I do not think that I do at this time, I yield back the balance of my time.”

What was struck down was Section 4, which is the formula that decides which States, which counties, which cities are included in Section 5.

Section 2 has been very effective down through the years, and those of you who have been involved in litigation, you know what I mean.

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.
