I also want to do another promotion of the briefing that Congressman Butterfield and I are hosting on pediatric trauma, May 24th.

The State supreme court ruled that the congressional map was an extreme, intentional partisan gerrymander and directed legislature to fix it.

Now the Supreme Court is going to have to decide whether or not State courts have any authority whatsoever over election laws within the State.

Unfortunately, the High Court decided that political gerrymandering is not protected by the Federal Constitution.

I represent one of thirteen districts in North Carolina. And, as all of you certainly know, the Rucho case originated in my State, as well as the Moore v. Harper case.

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.

five-alarm fire.

Floridians deserve free and fair elections, not more restrictions on access to the ballot.

Just because you have high turnout doesn't mean that bad laws aren't barriers to voting.

The ability to cast a ballot free of undue burden and discrimination is the cornerstone of our participatory democracy.

In conclusion, our democracy works best when every voter can make their voice heard.
