“I am unlucky to be from a State that has seen the Republican Party be part of voter suppression and intimidation that ended up in the Federal court decision that is still continuing in elections in New Jersey. The gentlewoman from California is unlucky to be from a State where the Republican Party paid $600,000 to settle two voter intimidation lawsuits stemming from actions in 1988 and 1989 in which the Orange County Republican Party placed security guards and signs at the voting polls designed to scare Latino voters from voting. That is the fact. So when the gentleman before mentioned about transparency, transparency is that the history on the records, in the Federal court, has condemned their party for what they have done to my people. That is the reality of that transparency.”
