Harry Reid: “I hope people understand what a sea change this is going to be for voting in America. In Nevada, we need this…”

“I hope people understand what a sea change this is going to be for voting in America. In Nevada, we need this legislation. The Secretary of State--who, by the way, is a Republican--was one of the first supporters of this legislation and developed a friendship with the Senator from Connecticut as a result of this legislation. It is that way all over the country. I only hope in the months and years to come, we understand how important this is and put our money where our mouths are. We have now authorized this most important legislation and have to fund it. This is groundbreaking, but I repeat, we have to put our money where our mouth is so we can implement this legislation. I hope we do that. If we do that, it is going to make elections fair, and it will make people feel good about their votes counting. None of this would have happened but for the doggedness of the Senator from Connecticut. He simply would not give up when many said it could not be done.”
