I thank Chairman Nadler for yielding. I support this bill and its efforts to protect access to the ballot box and advance justice and democracy for all, including Latinos, which represent 77 percent of my district. Enfranchising minority voters will strengthen our democracy because when all eligible voters can exercise their right, our government works better by living up to its ideals of ``we the people.'' This bill aims to maintain elections free, fair, and accessible to all eligible voters. Congress must pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore our ability to prevent voter discrimination. We are all equal at the ballot box, and this bill aims to make sure that that is a reality today, tomorrow, and every day. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in support of H.R. 4.
