Mr. Jeffries, as I listen to you talk about the rich history and what we are dealing with today, I think about you serving on the Judiciary Committee. I think about how, as Members of Congress and members of the Congressional Black Caucus, we often talk about our broken prison system.

I would like to ask you how you think the decrease in Black voters will affect that broken system.
