"We must have a restoration of the Voting Rights Act in this country."

"This was an act that was coordinated by the former speaker, now Senator Thom Tillis, and a host of other regressive lawyers, led by Thomas Farr."

"There was an intentional decision made at that time to disenfranchise African Americans."

"There was an intentional decision to get rid of the right to vote by multi-member districts and at-large campaigns."
